I have a code that I am trying to run which will compare a value from a csv file to a threshold that I have set within the py file. My csv file has an output similar to below, but with 1030 lines -46.62 -47.42 -47.36 -47.27 -47.36 -47.24 -47.24 -47.03 -47.12 Note: there are no lines between the values but there is a single space before them. My first attempt was with this code: file_in5 = open('710_edited_capture.csv', 'r') line5=file_in5.readlines() a=line5[102] b=line5[307] c=line5[512] d=line5[717] e=line5[922] print[a] print print[c] print[d] print[e] which gave the output of: [' -44.94\n'] [' -45.06\n'] [' -45.09\n'] [' -45.63\n'] [' -45.92\n'] My first thought was to use .strip() to remove the space and the \n but this is not supported in lists and returns the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/test.py", line 101, in <module> line5=line5.strip() AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'strip' My next code below: for line5 in file_in5: line5=line5.strip() line5=file_in5.readlines() a=line5[102] b=line5[307] c=line5[512] d=line5[717] e=line5[922] print[a] print print[c] print[d] print[e] Returns another error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/test.py", line 91, in <module> line5=file_in5.readlines() ValueError: Mixing iteration and read methods would lose data What is the most efficient way to read in just 5 specific lines without any spaces or \n, and then be able to use them in subsequent calculations such as: if a>threshold and a>b and a>c and a>d and a>e: print ('a is highest and within limit') CF=a Continue reading...
