Hi, I have a text file like this;
1 -33.453579
2 -148.487125
3 -195.067172
4 -115.958374
5 -100.597841
6 -121.566441
7 -121.025381
8 -132.103507
9 -108.939327
10 -97.046703
11 -52.866534
12 -48.432623
13 -112.790419
14 -98.516975
15 -98.724436
So I want to write a program in python that reads each line and
detects which numbers of the second column are the maximum and the
minimum.
I tried with;
import os, sys,re,string
# first parameter is the name of the data file
name1 = sys.argv[1]
infile1 = open(name1,"r")
# 1. get minimum and maximum
minimum=0
maximum=0
print " minimum = ",minimum
print " maximum = ",maximum
while 1:
line = infile1.readline()
ll = re.split("\s+",string.strip(line))
print ll[0],ll[1]
a=ll[0]
b=ll[1]
print a,b
if(b<minimum):
minimum=b
print " minimum= ",minimum
if(b>maximum):
maximum=b
print " maximum= ",maximum
print minimum, maximum
But it does not work and I get errors like;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "translate_to_intervals.py", line 20, in <module>
print ll[0],ll[1]
IndexError: list index out of range
Could anybody help me ?
Thanks
