parse text file python code example
Example 1: how to read text frome another file pythion
f = open("Myfile.txt", "r")
print(f.read()) #this is it if your using visual studio code.
# it may work on other things but try it.
#here is the other bit of code for the other file
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#this will overwrite anything in the text file!!!
when you run the code
file1 = open("MyFile.txt","w+") #this is the code to add text to the file

Example 2: parsing text in python
my_string = 'Names: Romeo, Juliet'
# split the string at ':'
step_0 = my_string.split(':')
# get the first slice of the list
step_1 = step_0[1]
# split the string at ','
step_2 = step_1.split(',')
# strip leading and trailing edge spaces of each item of the list
step_3 = [name.strip() for name in step_2]
# do all the above operations in one go
one_go = [name.strip() for name in my_string.split(':')[1].split(',')]
for idx, item in enumerate([step_0, step_1, step_2, step_3]):
print("Step {}: {}".format(idx, item))
print("Final result in one go: {}".format(one_go))
