Only my second try to post to this list. This is a dumb question with a simple (I presume) solution... but... how do I take a txt file with semicolon separated values and create a dictionary and a list? ( in 2.6 because I'm working with ArcGIS.)
text file is as follows: (saved as text_data.txt) (it's looooonger, this is just a sample) ObjID;Xval;Yval;LineID;PolyID 0;1279027.0;246427.9375;0;1 1;1279069.625;246433.234375;0;1 2;1279091.0;246435.046875;1;1 3;1279112.5;246436.3125;1;1 4;1279134.0;246437.0;2;1 5;1279176.875;246436.71875;2;1 6;1279198.375;246435.734375;3;1 7;1279219.75;246434.1875;3;1 I'd like to create a list from said text data... and a dictionary of dictionaries from said data. Eventually I will create a point, line and polygon shapefiles from this file. With the data above, it would be an 8 point pnt file, a 3 line line file and 1 polygon. (point 7 connecting back to point 0) Right now, I'm just trying to get started by creating a list and a dictionary (to see which I want to use when creating my shapefiles.) And, I need to do it in 2.6 because I'm working with ArcGIS. Thanks in advance for your thoughts? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
