Hi,
I need help with extracting information from file.
I have a file which is a comma delimited text file containing separate
line for each booking. Each line is composed of date, room number,
course number and course day.
Course day??? Not sure what you meant by that, on top of the already
mentioned 'date'...?
I need to extract only the room number which is entered at the prompt
and display course number, date and room number.
I have so far managed accept the entry from the prompt, to open the file
and display all the text
This may be a case of the blind leading the blind, but here goes:
Given this data file (comments not included in actual file):
#
# example.txt
#
# date, room, course
2010-06-08,123,246
2009-06-08,234,468
2008-06-08,345,680
#
# example.py
#
room = raw_input("Enter the room #: ")
file = open("example.txt", "r")
for line in file:
line = line.strip()
line = line.split(',')
if line[1] == room:
print "Date: " + line[0]
print "Room: " + line[1]
print "Course: " + line[2]
file.close()
>>>
Enter the room #: 234
Date: 2009-06-08
Room: 234
Course: 468
>>>
HTH,
Monte
