Hi!
I got this simple but effective piece of code. It picks certain wanted
pieces of data from a textfile based on database records and puts all of
them them in a new textfile in certain order. I was wondering, could it be
possible to make it otherwise in case that there's much more rows in that
textfile and/or there's much more bits of data to collect?
data = open('data.txt','r')
f1 = data.readlines()
data.close()
f2 = open('data.txt','r')
i=0
f3 = []
while i < len(f1):
a=f2.readline()
b=f2.readline()
c=f2.readline()
data2 = (
a[1:38].strip()+';'+
a[54:88].strip()+';'+
b[77:96].strip()+';'+
b[1:16].strip()+';'+
c[23:33].strip()+';'+
c[123:133].strip()+';'
)
wanted = (data2)
f3.append(wanted + "\n")
i += 3
f4 = open('wanted.txt', 'w')
f4.write(''.join(f3))
f2.close()
f4.close()
Thanks! OV
