But you don't add two values. you add two strings. If you
want numbers you must convert the strings.
Why? At least -

You see the picture? Pythons designer made the
same mistake as the Java/Javascript designer -
they use the _same_ operator (+) for number _addition_
and string _concatenation_, which is, imho, cumbersome.
And ``+`` means also list/tuple concatenation

I did another try on it, using all my Python

The code is a very good starting point for me! I already
managed to change it and I see I need to make it a bit more robust.
I think, the only thing you have to look at - is
the congruence of the regex-based filter rule and the text.

Hi
A short newbie question. I would like to extract some values from a
given text file directly into python variables. Can this be done simply
by either standard library or other libraries? Some pointers where to
get started would be much appreciated.
An example text file:
---
Some text
list.txt is a file that contains the following lines:
Apples 34
Bananas 10
Oranges 56
file = open(list.txt,r)
mystring = file.read()
mystring
'Apples 34 \nBananas 10\nOranges 56 '
mylist = mystring.split('\n')
mylist
['Apples 34 ', 'Bananas 10', 'Oranges 56 ']
mydict = {}
for el in mylist:
First try, probably there are better ways to do it, and it's far from
resilient, it breaks in lot of different ways (example: more than one
number in one line, number with text on both sides of the line, etc.)
I have divided the data munging in many lines so I can see what's
happening, and you can
P.S.
file.close()

What I first though was if there was possible to make a filter such as:
Apples (apples)
(ducks) Ducks
(butter) g butter
Try something like:
import re
text = Some text that can span some lines.
Apples 34
56 Ducks
Some more text.
filters = {apples:

The data can be put in a hash table.
