I looked though many similar questions, however my separators are not special characters such as "\" or "*", therefore none of the solutions worked. I am writing my results to a file in python, and re-opening it to read and process.
file1.txt
control1
1 10 12
1 34 44
2 1 -3
control2
3 4 -10.3
3 3.390 4
I separate each entry until I see a line having 'control' into chapters
:
import re
import sys, string, glob, os
with open('file1.txt') as f:
with open("control_output.txt", "w") as output:
mytext = f.read()
chapter = re.split("control[0-2]+\n", mytext)
i=1
print chapter[i]
output.write(chapter[i])
for filename in glob.glob(os.path.join(filePath, 'control_output.txt')):
merged_table=open(filename,'r')
for line in merged_table:
line = line.strip().split('\t')
print line
However it prints nothing, as the line does not have a tab separator. If I go out of the script before reading the file, and change all whitespaces to tabs, then it works:
sed -i 's/ \+ /\t/g' control_output.txt
Then I have the output:
['1', '10', '12']
['1', '34', '44']
['2', '1', '-3']
I also tried with subprocess.call however
subprocess.call(["sed", "-i", 's/ \+ /\t/g', "control_output.txt"])
Then I have the output of:
[[]]
I tried re.split with multiple white spaces:
line = re.split(r'\s*', line)
Which also gave
[[]]
However the expected output should be:
['1', '10', '12']
['1', '34', '44']
['2', '1', '-3']
How do I split string with multiple delimiters?
for line in merged_table:
line = line.strip().split()
print line
This will split on all whitespace and not just tabs
import re
import sys, string, glob, os
with open('file1.txt') as f:
with open("control_output.txt", "w") as output:
mytext = f.read()
chapter = re.split("control[0-2]+\n", mytext)
i=1
print chapter[i]
output.write(chapter[i])
# You should move this code block out of with open("control_output.txt", "w") as output:
for filename in glob.glob(os.path.join(filePath, 'control_output.txt')):
with open(filename, 'r') as f_table:
merged_table = f_table.readlines()
for line in merged_table:
line = re.split('\s+', line.strip())
print line
