Best way to get just strings, integers, and/or floats from a data file in python?










2















For example:



My input:



Input:
zxxxxyzzxyxyxyzxzzxzzzyzzxxxzxxyyyzxyxzyxyxyzyyyyzzyyyyzzxzxzyzzzzyxzxxxyxxxxyyzyyzyyyxzzzzyzxyzzyyy
--------
x y z
--------
A B
--------
A B
A 0.634 0.366
B 0.387 0.613
--------
x y z
A 0.532 0.226 0.241
B 0.457 0.192 0.351


Output:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBAAA


Right now I'm using this:



import sys, re

data =
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
data.append(''.join(line.strip().split()))

cleanup =
for i in range(len(data)):
cleanup.append(re.sub(r"S+", " ", data[i]))

print(data)


and my output looks like this:



['zxxxxyzzxyxyxyzxzzxzzzyzzxxxzxxyyyzxyxzyxyxyzyyyyzzyyyyzzxzxzyzzzzyxzxxxyxxxxyyzyyzyyyxzzzzyzxyzzyyy', '--------', 'xyz', '--------', 'AB', '--------', 'AB', 'A0.6340.366', 'B0.3870.613', '--------', 'xyz', 'A0.5320.2260.241', 'B0.4570.1920.351']


But what I want my data list to look like is:



print(data)
['zxxxxyzzxyxyxyzxzzxzzzyzzxxxzxxyyyzxyxzyxyxyzyyyyzzyyyyzzxzxzyzzzzyxzxxxyxxxxyyzyyzyyyxzzzzyzxyzzyyy', 'x', 'y', 'z', 'A', 'B', '0.634', '0.366', '0.387', '0.613', '0.532', '0.226', '0.241', '0.457', '0.192', '0.351']

            This is close but not completely correct. Id' add re.sub(r"[^a-zA-Zds.]", "", x) so this excludes non-alphanumeric words the OP doesn't want such as "--------".

                You could do it like this...



                rawLines = raw.split("n")

                data =
                data["seq"] = rawLines[1]

                data["mat1"] =
                for k in [8,9]:
                temp = rawLines[k].split("t")
                if(k==8):
                data["mat1"]["A"] = "A":float(temp[1]),"B":float(temp[2])
                else:
                data["mat1"]["B"] = "A":float(temp[1]),"B":float(temp[2])

                data["mat2"] =
                for k in [14,15]:
                temp = rawLines[k].split("t")

                data["mat2"]["A"]="X":float(temp[1]),"Y":float(temp[2]),"Z":float(temp[3])
                elif(k == 15):
