Hello Pythoners, I am trying to extract certain fields from a file that whose text looks like this:
COMPND 2 MOLECULE: POTASSIUM CHANNEL SUBFAMILY K MEMBER 4; COMPND 3 CHAIN: A, B; COMPND 10 MOL_ID: 2; COMPND 11 MOLECULE: ANTIBODY FAB FRAGMENT LIGHT CHAIN; COMPND 12 CHAIN: D, F; COMPND 13 ENGINEERED: YES; COMPND 14 MOL_ID: 3; COMPND 15 MOLECULE: ANTIBODY FAB FRAGMENT HEAVY CHAIN; COMPND 16 CHAIN: E, G; I would like the chain IDs, but only those following the text heading "ANTIBODY FAB FRAGMENT", i.e. I need to create a list with D,F,E,G which excludes A,B which have a non-antibody text heading. I am using the following syntax: with open(filename) as file: scanfile=file.readlines() for line in scanfile: if line[0:6]=='COMPND' and 'FAB FRAGMENT' in line: continue elif line[0:6]=='COMPND' and 'CHAIN' in line: print line But this yields: COMPND 3 CHAIN: A, B; COMPND 12 CHAIN: D, F; COMPND 16 CHAIN: E, G; I would like to ignore the first line since A,B correspond to non-antibody text headings, and instead want to extract only D,F & E,G whose text headings are specified as antibody fragments. Many thanks, Spyros
