Text file:
Test 1,15.05.13
Python:
with open("text_file.txt") as inputFile: lines = [line for line in inputFile] var1, var2 = lines[0].strip().split(",") This work fine if I have one line. How can I do this if I have many lines?
Text file:
Test 1,15.05.13 Test 4,15.06.13 Test 5,15.07.13 Test 6,15.08.13 Use a for-loop. This would return one line at a time from the file(no need to store all lines in memory) and you can apply strip, split on it.
with open("text_file.txt") as inputFile: for line in inputFile: var1, var2 = line.strip().split(",") 
You can iterate over the lines with a for loop
with open("text_file.txt") as inputFile: lines = [line for line in inputFile] for line in lines: var1, var2 = line.strip().split(",") You can put the results into a list as follows:
with open("text_file.txt") as inputFile: vars = [line.strip().split(",") for line in inputfile] Result:
>>> vars [['Test 1', '15.05.13'], ['Test 4', '15.06.13'], ['Test 5', '15.07.13'], ['Test 6', '15.08.13']]
