Hi,
I am new to python hence posing this question.
I have a file with the following format:
test1 1.1-1 installed
test1 1.1-1 update
test2 2.1-1 installed
test2 2.1-2 update
I want the file to be formatted in the following way:
test1 1.1-1 1.1-2
test2 2.1-1 2.1-2
How can I achieve this? I am stuck here.
py> import itertools as it
py> for line1, line2 in it.izip(f, f):
... line1, line2 = [line.split() for line in [line1, line2]]
... print '\t'.join(line1[:2] + line2[1:2])
...
test1 1.1-1 1.1-2
test2 2.1-1 2.1-2
where f is the file containing your data. I assumed it looked like:
py> import StringIO as strio
py> f = strio.StringIO("""\
... test1 1.1-1 installed
... test1 1.1-2 update
... test2 2.1-1 installed
... test2 2.1-2 update
... """)
