Hi all! I have a file with data structure derived from wvdial log: Oct 14 11:03:45 cc000002695 pppd[3092]: Sent 3489538 bytes, received 43317854 bytes.
I want to get the 10th field of each line and get the sum for all lines (total my net data usage). In awk u can easily pop it using field variables e..g $10. Since im learning python on my own i thought this is a good way to learn but im stumped how to achieve this goal. I used open() and read line method to store the contents in a list but it is a list of string. I need it to be numbers. Iterating through the string list definitely is unwieldy. Can you guys advise best way how? FWIW im a self learner and just relying from tutorial materials and this medium to learn python. Lead me to the right direction please :-) My IDE is vim and ipython in debian linux. -- Best Regards, bibimidi
