Hi so I am making a bit of code to extract a bit of numbers data from a
file and then find the average of that data, however while I can get the
code to extract each specific piece of data I need, I can't seem to get
the numbers to add separately so I can get a proper average. My sum1
variable seems to only take the last bit of data entered.
for line in fhand:
if line.startswith('X-DSPAM-Confidence:'):
count=count+1
colpos=line.find(':')
zpos=line.find('0',colpos)
num=float(line[zpos:50])
sum1=0+num
Are you sure that last line is right?
Its effectively just doing
sum1 = num
adding zero does nothing interesting.
So sum1 ends up at whatever num was at the end of the loop.
