I am taking a database class so I'm not asking for specific answers. Well I have this text tile:
http://www.cs.tufts.edu/comp/115/projects/proj0/customer.txt And this code: # Table and row classes used for queries class Row(object): def __init__(self, column_list, row_vals): print len(column_list) print len(row_vals) for column, value in column_list, row_vals: if column and value: setattr(self, column.lower(), value) class Table(object): def __init__(self, table_name, table_fd): self.name = table_name self.table_fd = table_fd self.rows = [] self._load_table() def _load_table(self): counter = 0 for line in self.table_fd: # Skip the second line if not '-----' in line: if counter == 0: # This line contains the columns, parse it column_list = line.split() else: # This is a row, parse it row_vals = line.split() # Create a new Row object and add it to the table's # row list self.rows.append(Row(column_list, row_vals)) counter += 1 Because the addresses contain spaces, this won't work because there are too many values being unpacked in row's __init__'s for loop. Any suggestions for a better way to parse this file? I don't want to cheat but just some general ideas would be nice. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
