I am trying to use a very basic text file as a settings file. Three lines repeat in this order/format that govern some settings/input for my program. Text file is as follows:
Facebook
1#3#5#2
Header1#Header2#Header3#Header4
...
This is read in using the following Python code:
f = open('settings.txt', 'r')
for row in f:
platform = f.readline()
rows_to_keep = int(f.readline().split('#'))
row_headers = f.readline().split('#')
clean_output(rows_to_keep, row_headers, platform)
I would expect single string to be read in platform, an array of ints in the second and an array of strings in the third. These are then passed to the function and this is repeated numerous times.
However, the following three things are happening:
TypeError\n at the end of each lineI suspect these are related and so am only posting one question.
You cannot call int on a list, you need do do some kind of list comprehension like
rows_to_keep = [int(a) for a in f.readline().split('#')]
You're reading a line, then reading another line from the file. You should either do some kind of slicing (see Python how to read N number of lines at a time) or call a function with the three lines after every third iteration.
use .strip() to remove end of lines and other whitespace.
