Other than the minor tweaks I've suggested I'm not sure what your problem
is? I think we need to see the data to understand the issue.
Here is a sample of the input data, it is tab delimited and I chopped it
down for example purposes:
KSL03502_7A_1 11.5921
KSL03502_7B_1 46.4997
KSL03502_7C_1 13.5839
KSL03505_7A_1 12.8684
KSL03505_7B_1 16.5311
KSL03505_7C_1 18.9926
KSL03509_7A_1 3.4104
KSL03509_7B_1 40.6244
KSL03509_7C_1 51.0597
KSL03511_7A_1 7.128
KSL03511_7B_1 53.4401
KSL03511_7C_1 66.2584
KSL03514_2A_1 25.6476
KSL03514_2B_1 53.17
KSL03514_2C_1 11.6469
KSL03514_7A_1 39.2292
KSL03514_7B_1 65.675
KSL03514_7C_1 3.4937
I would like to parse it buy using a dictionary structure. Where each row
would be something like:
name 7,8,9,2
KSL03514_C,3.4937,,,11.6469
KSL03514_B,65.675,,,53.17
I am just showing an example of what KSL03514_7C_1, KSL03514_2C_1,
KSL03514_7B_1, KSL03514_2B_1 would parse.
Hope this helps explain what I am trying to accomplish.
Thank you in advance.
I think you need a defaultdict rather than a plain dict, otherwise
you'll always be overwriting your values with new data. I believe this
https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#defaultdict-examples
is exactly what you need. Am I close?
