Hi tutor,
I have a large text file that has chunks of data like this:
headerA n1
line 1
line 2
...
line n1
headerB n2
line 1
line 2
...
line n2
Where each chunk is a header and the lines that follow it (up to the next
header). A header has the number of lines in the chunk as its second field.
I would like to turn this file into a dictionary like:
dict = {'headerA':[line 1, line 2, ... , line n1], 'headerB':[line1, line 2,
... , line n2]}
Is there a way to do this with a dictionary comprehension or do I have to
iterate over the file with a "while 1" loop?
-Drew
