Hi,
I'm parsing IMDB movie reviews (each movie is in its own text file). In my
script, I'm trying to extract genre information. Movies have up to three
categories of genres--but not all have a "genre" tag and that fact is making my
script abort whenever it encounters a movie text file that doesn't have a
"genre" tag.
I thought the following should solve it, but it doesn't. The basic question is
how I say "if genre information doesn't at all, just make rg1=rg2=rg3="NA"?
rgenre = re.split(r';', rf.info["genre"]) # When movies have genre information
they store it as <genre>Drama;Western;Thriller</genre>
if len(rgenre)>0:
if len(rgenre)>2:
rg1=rgenre[0]
rg2=rgenre[1]
rg3=rgenre[2]
elif len(rgenre)==2:
rg1=rgenre[0]
rg2=rgenre[1]
rg3="NA"
elif len(rgenre)==1:
rg1=rgenre[0]
rg2="NA"
rg3="NA"
else len(rgenre)<1: # I was hoping this would take care of the "there is no
genre information" scenario but it doesn't
rg1=rg2=rg3="NA"
This probably does a weird nesting thing, but even simpler version I have tried
don't work.
Thanks very much for any help!
Tyler
