I'm a newbie with Python 2.7 and I'm still trying to get the hang of it.
I have a text file with a row of lines that contain strings like this:
"AA,,BB,2014-02-06,0,0|CC,,DD,2014-02-27,0,0|EE,,FF,2014-02-04,1,1"#"GG"#"USD"#"true"#Total : USD#1638.93#
(There's a bunch of text before 'USD' that varies with each line.)
I tried doing this:
with open('out_put_usjfk50.csv', 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter='#')
for row in reader:
amount = float(row[5])
if amount <= 800:
print row
elif amount is None:
pass
but I got the same error: ValueError: could not convert string to float:
I'm stumped. How do I go through each line to check for the integer value (that's part of a string), and then print the line(s) if it's less than, say, USD1500? I'd appreciate it if someone can point me to the right direction!
You have a CSV file; use the csv
module :
import csv
with open('filename.csv', 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter='#')
for row in reader:
New each row
object is a list of strings; each string representing a column in your file.
Say the '1638.93'
column is column 8, then you'd use (with Python using 0-based indexing):
amount = float(row[7])
Now you have a floating point number from that string, and you can test against it:
with open('filename.csv', 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter='#')
for row in reader:
amount = float(row[7])
if amount <= 1500:
print row
