Following are my contents [ please ignore if its not already tab delimited. I am told it will be]
A B C
1 2 3
I want to read in such a way that A gets 1, B gets 2, and C gets 3.
Here's my code. I just started to print the first index of each line. But the result I see is the entire file content.
with open('output.txt','rb') as fp:
for x in fp:
y = x.split('\t')
print y[0]
To populate a dictionary, you need a set of keys and a corresponding set of values. Your keys are in the first line and the values are in the second line of your file. So you can do this:
with open('path/to/file') as infile:
keys = infile.readline().split()
values = infile.readline().strip().split('\t')
answer = {}
for i,key in enumerate(keys):
answer[key] = values[i]
Of course, the csv
module is likely going to help with a lot of the heavy lifting (not that you have much of it in this particular case):
import csv
answer = {}
with open('path/to/file') as infile:
infile = csv.reader(infile, delimiter='\t')
keys = next(infile)
values = next(infile)
answer.update(dict(zip(keys, values)))
If you are unsure of how the file is delimited, but you know that some form of whitespace is used, then you could simply modify the first solution:
with open('path/to/file') as infile:
keys = infile.readline().split()
values = infile.readline().split('\t')
answer = dict(zip(keys, values))
