Me again. Python is telling me that there are 13 items in the row count in
addition to row[0] where there should be only 12. I don't see the error and
there is no blank space at the end of the row.
I've attached the script (datacon.py) that worked before, and here's a
very short data set that throws the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./datacon.py", line 32, in <module>
if row[i] != '':
IndexError: list index out of range
Data:
::JC-2:JC-3:JC-3:MC-1:MC-2:BC-2:BC-3:ITSN:SC:SC-100:GDSP-10:GD-1
::2008-06-26:2008-05-29:2008-06-26:2008-06-26:2008-06-26:2008-06-26:2008-05-29:2008-06-23:2008-06-26:2008-06-23:2008-06-23:2008-06-26
pH:8.00:8.00:7.50:8.00:7.90:8.00:7.90:8.40:7.50:8.00:8.00:8.10
I've printed stubs and found that the list index is looking for one too
many items, but I don't see where it's getting the incorrect count. Please
point out what's incompatible with the script or data file.
TIA,
Rich
