Hi,
I'm a beginner at python and I'm trying to extract a specific column
from a txt file ( see attached file).
In the attached file I want to extract the entire column/pph2_prob
/(i.e. column 16). But I want to get all the values from that column
without the headline /pph2_prob.
/How do I accomplish that?
Best,

Dear Anna,
Using the CSV module should work.
Something along the lines of (untested):
inLines = CSV.DictReader("/path/to/myfile.csv")
data = []
for a in inLines:
data.append(a)
for line in data:
print line["/pph2_prob/"]
Once you've got that working you just need to put the results in a file,
instead of printing them.
On a practical note (and there may be many reasons why not to), it might
be easier to open in a spreadsheet and take the data from there....
HTH,
Matt
