Hi,
I feel very stupid, but I am stuck. I could try some workaround, but I want to
understand what I am doing wrong.
The line:
for line in open("parameterfile").readlines( ):
print line.split() # trouble line
The "trouble line" works fine in this example. It prints
what I want, something which looks like lists of words:
['CT', 'CT', '268.0', '1.529']... etc.
However, if I want to manipulate the individual list elements, I run into
trouble. While
print line.split()[0]
still works, (it yields CT - first element),
however,
print line.split()[1]
gives error:
File "readatoms.py", line 103, in <module>
print line.split()[1]
IndexError: list index out of range
Could you please tell me what's wrong. (I come from Perl background so Python
seems out-of-the-body experience to me).
Sincerely,
Vis
