Hi,
I use readlines() to read one data file. Python automatically parses the read contents
into a list of lines. When I used list[0] to print out the 1st line, it is ok. When I use
the list index 2 to print out the 2nd line , there is an error mesage. I only need one line of
input data file in the middle of the file. For example, I have data file like:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adapter Address: 00:60:08:2A:C9: 5A

I have some codes:
.......
for line in db1:
(ip, mac) = string.split(li ne)
print 'ip is ', ip
run = 'dhcpacct --ip=%s > tt1'
os.system(run)
getdata = open('tt1', 'r')
data = getdata.readlin es()
print 'data[0] is', data[0]
print 'data[3] is', data[3]
getdata.close()
When run the codes, I got:
data[0] is ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
data[3] is
Traceback (innermost last):
File "com1", line 64, in ?
print 'data[3] is', data[3]
IndexError: list index out of range
How can I fix it ?
Thanks,

I am not sure which name is designating your source text (db1 or getdata
?). If it is 'getdata' then you will need to iterate over the file
object to grab all of the lines. Try this:
for line in db1:
(ip, mac) = string.split(li ne)
print 'ip is ', ip
run = 'dhcpacct --ip=%s > tt1'
os.system(run)
getdata = open('tt1', 'r')
data=[]
for line in getdata.readlin es():
data.append(lin e)
print 'data[0] is', data[0]
print 'data[3] is', data[3]
getdata.close()
Hope this helps,
Mark d.

In general, for debugging, why not use
for i in range(len(data) ):
print 'data[',i,'] is',data[i]

I did more investigation into my previous problem
and what happens is that my text file has \r for representing
a new line instead
of a \n. is there a way to tell the readlines
function that the symbol for a newline is \r rather
than \n ? right now the readlines function reads
the\r as another item in the list and just puts
everything into one big list because it
doesn't find any new line characters.
thanks. i'm really stuck because

Does a call to file.readlines() reads all lines at once in the memory?
Are the any reasons, from the performance point of view, to prefer

HI -
Sorry for maybe a too simple a question but I googled and also checked my
reference O'Reilly Learning Python
book and I did not find a satisfactory answer.
When I use readlines, what happens if the number of lines is huge? I have
a very big file (4GB) I want to
read in, but I'm sure there must be some limitation to readlines and I'd
like to know how it is handled by python.
I am using it like this:

Ik have an uml file I want to read with readlines. I have the following
code:

The print statement just gives the data, not the uml headings. Is there
a solution which also gives the uml headings.

Hi,
I'm currently using Python to deal with a fairly large text file (800
MB), which I know has about 85,000 lines of text. I can confirm this
because (1) I built the file myself, and (2) running a basic Java
program to count lines yields a number in that range.
However, when I use Python's various methods -- readline(),
readlines(), or xreadlines() and loop through the lines of the file,
the line program exits at 16,000 lines. No...

Hello All,
I have a system. An instrument attched to 'com1' is wireless connected
to many sensors at different locations. The instrument can forward
the "commands" (from pyserial's write()) to those sensors. Based on
the "commands", the sensors keep sending corresponding data back to
the instrument which wraps up those data and put into "com1" . The
readlines() of pyserial pick up those data for processing.
The data ’string' does...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
