I want to read an input file (file.csv) that has two columns. I want to read
2nd column and assign variables that are strings and floats. Currently, I use
the following split() function to read from the input file and create a list,
and then assign each element to a variable.
I am wondering there is any other easier (and elegant) way of doing this ?
data = []
for line in open("file.csv"):
columns = line.split(',')
data.append([columns[1]])
This script returns, say:
data = [ ['20.0'], ['0.34'], ................,[ 'a:0.20, b:0.30, c:0.50' ]]
Then, I assign to a set of variables, say:
x1 = float(data[0][0]) ; x2 = float(data[1][0]);.............;xn = data[-1][0]
Thanks,
Lex
