I have two files, file1
and file2
, with each one containing several numbers (one number per line). I need to create a third file ( output file
) that combines both files without having any repeated number. What should be the code for combining both files in a file?
File1: 1 2 7 9 15 (1 number per line)
File2: 1 8 12 13 14 16 (1 number per line)
Outputfile: 1 2 7 8 9 12 13 14 15 16 (1 number per line)
Assuming your input files are in the current working directory:
unique_elements = set()
for filename in ['file1', 'file2']:
with open(filename, 'r') as f:
for l in f.readlines():
unique_elements.add(int(l.strip()))
sorted_list = list(unique_elements)
sorted_list.sort()
with open('output_file', 'w') as f:
for number in sorted_list:
f.write('{}\n'.format(number))
So if order matters, you could simply read both into a list and then write a final one, similar to:
numbers = []
with open(file1, 'r') as inputfile:
for row in inputfile.readlines():
number = int(row)
if number not in numbers:
numbers.append(number)
with open(file2, 'r') as inputfile:
for row in inputfile.readlines():
number = int(row)
if number not in numbers:
numbers.append(number)
numbers.sort()
with open(file3, 'w') as outputfile:
for number in numbers:
outputfile.write("%d\n" % number)
