Dear Python I am new to Python and having questions about its usage. Currently I have to read two .csv files INCT and INMRI which are similar to this
INCT NONAME 121.57 34.71 14.81 1.35 0 0 1 Cella 129.25 100.31 27.25 1.35 1 1 1 Chiasm 130.3 98.49 26.05 1.35 1 1 1 FMagnum 114.89 144.94 -15.74 1.35 1 1 1 Iz 121.57 198.52 30.76 1.35 1 1 1 LEAM 160.53 127.6 -1.14 1.35 1 1 1 LEAM 55.2 124.66 12.32 1.35 1 1 1 LPAF 180.67 128.26 -9.05 1.35 1 1 1 LTM 77.44 124.17 15.95 1.35 1 1 1 Leye 146.77 59.17 -2.63 1.35 1 0 0 Nz 121.57 34.71 14.81 1.35 1 1 1 Reye 91.04 57.59 6.98 1.35 0 1 0 INMRI NONAME 121.57 34.71 14.81 1.35 0 0 1 Cella 129.25 100.31 27.25 1.35 1 1 1 Chiasm 130.3 98.49 26.05 1.35 1 1 1 FMagnum 114.89 144.94 -15.74 1.35 1 1 1 Iz 121.57 198.52 30.76 1.35 1 1 1 LEAM 160.53 127.6 -1.14 1.35 1 1 1 LEAM 55.2 124.66 12.32 1.35 1 1 1 LPAF 180.67 128.26 -9.05 1.35 1 1 1 LTM 77.44 124.17 15.95 1.35 1 1 1 Leye 146.77 59.17 -2.63 1.35 1 0 0 My job is to match the name on the two files and combine the first three attributes together. So far I tried to read two files. But when I tried to match the pattern using nested loop, but Python stops me after 1 iteration. Here is what I got so far. INCT = open(' *.csv') INMRI = open(' *.csv') for row in INCT: name, x, y, z, a, b, c, d = row.split(",") print aaa, for row2 in INMRI: NAME, X, Y, Z, A, B, C, D = row2.split(",") if name == NAME: print aaa The results are shown below "NONAME" "NONAME" "Cella " "NONAME" "Chiasm" "NONAME" "FMagnum" "NONAME" "Inion" "NONAME" "LEAM" "NONAME" "LTM" "NONAME" "Leye" "NONAME" "Nose" "NONAME" "Nz" "NONAME" "REAM" "NONAME" "RTM" "NONAME" "Reye" "Cella" "Chiasm" "FMagnum" "Iz" "LEAM" "LEAM" "LPAF" "LTM" "Leye" "Nz" "Reye" I was a MATLAB user and am really confused by what happens with me. I wish someone could help me with this intro problem and probably indicate a convenient way for pattern matching. Thanks!
