I am a python newbie and I have a problem with writing
each record read to a file. The expected output is 10
rows of records, but the actual output of the code
below is only one row with a very long record (10
records are lump into one record). Thank you in
advance for your help. Here is the code:
*************** *************** **********
infile = open('c:/grad3650txt.csv ', 'r')
outfile = open('c:/idmast01.txt', 'w')
a = 1
b = 10
for line in infile.readline s():
if a <= b:
c1 = line.find(',',0 )
ln = line[1:c1]
l2 = line.find('"', c1)
l2a = l2 - 1
l2c = l2
if line[l2a] == '.':
l2b = l2 - 3
if line[l2b] == ' ':
mi = line[l2b+1:l2a+1]
l2c = l2b
else:
mi = ' '
l2c = l2
fn = line[c1+2:l2c]
c2 = line.find(',', l2)
c3 = line.find(',', c2+1)
deg = line[c2+1:c3]
l5 = len(line)
c4 = line.find(',', c3+1)
l7 = c3 + 14
if l5 <= l7 or c4 <= l5:
l8 = l5
if c4 <= l5:
dat = line[c3+1:c4]
#-----------------------------------
# This is the problem code. Ten records
# is lump into 1 row and written
# in the output file.
#
# My expected output is 10 rows.
#-----------------------------------
info = string.join([fn, mi, ln, deg, dat]
outfile.write(i nfo)
#----------------------------------
#
a = 1 + a
else:
a = 1 + a
infile.close()
outfile.close()
# ------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much for your help.
