Reading rows from a CSV file in Python
Use the csv
module:
import csv
with open("test.csv", "r") as f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter="\t")
for i, line in enumerate(reader):
print 'line[{}] = {}'.format(i, line)
Output:
line[0] = ['Year:', 'Dec:', 'Jan:']
line[1] = ['1', '50', '60']
line[2] = ['2', '25', '50']
line[3] = ['3', '30', '30']
line[4] = ['4', '40', '20']
line[5] = ['5', '10', '10']
You could do something like this:
with open("data1.txt") as f:
lis = [line.split() for line in f] # create a list of lists
for i, x in enumerate(lis): #print the list items
print "line{0} = {1}".format(i, x)
# output
line0 = ['Year:', 'Dec:', 'Jan:']
line1 = ['1', '50', '60']
line2 = ['2', '25', '50']
line3 = ['3', '30', '30']
line4 = ['4', '40', '20']
line5 = ['5', '10', '10']
or :
with open("data1.txt") as f:
for i, line in enumerate(f):
print "line {0} = {1}".format(i, line.split())
# output
line 0 = ['Year:', 'Dec:', 'Jan:']
line 1 = ['1', '50', '60']
line 2 = ['2', '25', '50']
line 3 = ['3', '30', '30']
line 4 = ['4', '40', '20']
line 5 = ['5', '10', '10']
Edit:
with open('data1.txt') as f:
print "{0}".format(f.readline().split())
for x in f:
x = x.split()
print "{0} = {1}".format(x[0],sum(map(int, x[1:])))
# output
['Year:', 'Dec:', 'Jan:']
1 = 110
2 = 75
3 = 60
4 = 60
5 = 20
Reading it columnwise is harder?
Anyway this reads the line and stores the values in a list:
for line in open("csvfile.csv"):
csv_row = line.split() #returns a list ["1","50","60"]
Modern solution:
# pip install pandas
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_table("csvfile.csv", sep=" ")
