sorry for repost.
Hello group:
I have a file (3339203 lines) that looks like this:
(col:1) (col:2) (col:3)
AD134KL
XXXXX XXXXX
Xaaaa Xaaaa
Xbbbb Xbbbb
AD144KL
YYYYY YYYYY
Yaaaa Yaaaa
Now I have to fill the rows in column 1 with their
designated stuff:
AD134KL
AD134KL XXXXX XXXXX
AD134KL Xaaaa Xaaaa
AD134KL Xbbbb Xbbbb
AD144KL
AD144KL YYYYY YYYYY
AD144KL Yaaaa Yaaaa
My code:
f1 = open('xx','r')
meat = f1.readlines()
mind = []
for i in range(len(meat)):
if meat[i].startswith('AD'):
mind.append(i)
mind = [0,4]
for i in range(len(mind)):
k = i+1
l = mind[i]+1
j = mind[k]-1
print l,j
1 3
Logic: Now I want to substitute 'AD134KL' between 0
and 4 which is 1,2,and 3. and move on..
After getting the idexes of blank rows between two AD*
as a list, I lost grip and I cannot think of what
should be done next
Is this a good way to solve it . or is there any other
easy way
Can experts help me please.
thank you
srini
