Hi, My foo.txt file contains the following:
1,"house","2,5" 2,"table","6,7" 3,"chair","-4,5" ... as seen with notepad. This file was created with the OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet, but since I use comma as the decimal separator for numbers, the last value in each line appears sorrounded by quotes. I would like to obtain: [[1,"house",2.5], [2,"table",6.7], [3,"chair",-4.5]] in order to process the content of the file. However, so far, I have not obtained the desired result. I started testing with (only for first line): f=open('foo.txt','r') t=f.readline() print t t=t.split(',') print t f.close() But what I am getting is far more complex than what I expected: 1,"house","2,5" ['1', '"house"', '"2', '5"\n'] which is unprocessable. Can anyboby help? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
