Hello,
I've been slowly teaching myself python, using it for small projects
when it seems appropriate. In this case, I was handed a list of email
addresses for a mailing but some of them had been truncated. There are
only 21 possible email "suffixes" so I planned to just identify which it
should be and then replace it. However, when I started writing the code
I realized that I'd be doing a lot of "repeating". Is there a better way
to "fix" the suffixes without doing each individually? Here's my working
code (for 4 colleges):
import re
with file('c:\python27\mvc\mailing_list.txt', 'r') as infile:
outlist = []
for line in infile.read().split('\n'):
if line.rstrip().lower().endswith('edu'):
newline = line + '\n'
outlist.append(newline.lower())
elif re.search("@bar", line):
newline = re.sub("@bar.*", "@baruch.cuny.edu", line)+'\n'
outlist.append(newline.lower())
elif re.search("@bcc", line):
newline = re.sub("@bcc.*", "@bcc.cuny.edu", line)+'\n'
outlist.append(newline.lower())
elif re.search("@bmc", line):
newline = re.sub("@bmc.*", "@bmcc.cuny.edu", line)+'\n'
outlist.append(newline.lower())
elif re.search("@leh", line):
newline = re.sub("@leh.*", "@lehman.cuny.edu", line)+'\n'
outlist.append(newline.lower())
with file('c:\python27\mvc\output.txt','w') as outfile:
outfile.writelines(outlist)
Thanks,
Marco
