Here is the data in a text file i am importing:
-2, 2.1, 0.484147876841
0, 2.4, 0.0550985751073
2, 2.5, -0.48502362586
4, 3.5, -0.161922119386
6, 4.2, 0.442947234586
I would like each column of data into a separate list, to look like:
x = [-2, 0,2 ,4 ,6]
y = [2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, 4.2]
e = [0.484147876841, 0.0550985751073, -0.48502362586, -0.161922119386, 0.442947234586]
I tried the following code:
inputdata=open("C:\Users\Chloe\Google Drive\Uni\Computing\data.txt", 'r')
for datapoint in inputdata:
datapoint=datapoint.strip('\n')
splitdata=datapoint.split(',')
x.append(splitdata[0])
y.append(splitdata[1])
e.append(splitdata[2])
What error are you receiving? Try this, it worked for me:
inputdata=open("C:\Users\Chloe\Google Drive\Uni\Computing\data.txt", 'r')
x = []
y= []
e = []
for datapoint in inputdata:
datapoint=datapoint.strip('\n')
splitdata=datapoint.split(',')
x.append(int(splitdata[0]))
y.append(float(splitdata[1]))
e.append(float(splitdata[2]))
print x
print y
print e
Output :
[-2, 0, 2, 4, 6]
[2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, 4.2]
[0.484147876841, 0.0550985751073, -0.48502362586, -0.161922119386, 0.442947234586]
Here's one way to do it:
input_file = 'data.txt'
with open(input_file) as f:
a = [map(float, line.strip('\n').split(',')) for line in f]
x, y, z = [list(l) for l in zip(*a)]
print(x, y, z)
Prints:
[-2.0, 0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0] [2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, 4.2] [0.484147876841, 0.0550985751073, -0.48502362586, -0.161922119386, 0.442947234586]
If you don't mind that x
, y
, and z
will be tuples, you can use just zip(*a)
instead of wrapping each element with a list in the last list comprehension.
First, you may need to convert to the correct datatype:
x.append(int(splitdata[0]))
y.append(float(splitdata[1]))
e.append(float(splitdata[2]))
...
Second, this is a csv file, and you might better process it with the right library:
import csv
with open(r"C:\Users\Chloe\Google Drive\Uni\Computing\data.txt", 'rb') as csvfile:
reader = csv.reader(csvfile):
for row in file:
x.append(int(row[0]))
...
file1=open("D:\price.txt","r")
x=[]
y=[]
z=[]
for i in file1:
x.append(i.strip().split())
print(x)
for i in x:
y.append(int(i[0]))
z.append(int(i[1]))
print(y,z)
