* qtrimble:
I'm a python newbie but I do have some basic scripting experience. I
need to take the line starting with "wer" and extract the year and day
of year from that string. I want to be able to add the year and day
of year from the last line having "wer*" to the lines occurring in
between "wer*" lines. Python seems suitable to do this and I'm fairly
certain I can eventually get this to work but I've been hit with a
very short time frame so I'm looking for any generous help. The data
below is just a sample. There are well over 500,000 lines that need
processed.
wer1999001
31.2234 82.2367
37.9535 82.3456
wer1999002
31.2234 82.2367
37.9535 82.3456
<example>
>>> line = "wer1999001"
>>> line
'wer1999001'
>>> line[3:3+4]
'1999'
>>> line[7:7+3]
'001'
>>> _
</example>
Cheers & hth.,
