How do you split a list of names from a txt doc into smaller lists(indiv names)?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a program to write for class where we are creating several functions to create top 10 lists. My first function I split the data up into individual lines. Now in my next function I need to separate out Player name and player points. The problem is, each line of the csv file is a list at the moment. Giving me this result when I write player = player_list[0]



['ABDELAL01 ', 'Alaa', 'Abdelnaby', 'N', '256', '3200', '1465', '283', '563', '846', '85', '71', '69', '247', '484', '1236', '620', '321', '225', '3', '0n']


I want just this part printing for this call 'Alaa', 'Abdelnaby' then I want to select the point section, in this case 1465.



So how can i change this list so i can split out these 2 pieces?



Also I am using python3

  • Just create a new list by accessing the elements you want from your original list at the right indices. For example, new_list = [old_list[1], old_list[2], old_list[6]].

  • I tried printing out player_list[1] and it gave me the same output as player_list[0]

  • check csv.DictReader class, that will make working with csv much easier for you: docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html#csv.DictReader
