I am trying to read a few lines of a file with multiple values, the rest
are single and are reading in fine.
With the multiple value lines, python says this "ValueError: too many
values to unpack"
I've googled it and it says that happens when you have too few or too
many strings that don't match with the variables in number your trying
to assign them too. Below are the lines in reading in:
line 3 - 19.18 29.15 78.75 212.10
line 4 - 100 20 410.29
And this is the code I'm using:
#read withdrawls from file on line3
line = infile.readline()
#split withdrawls up
withdraw1, withdraw2, withdraw3, withdraw4 = string.split(line, "\t")
#read deposits from file on line4
line = infile.readline()
#split deposits up
deposit1, deposit2, deposit3 = string.split(line, "\t")
I have 4 strings to match line 3 and 3 to match the 3 on line 4...any
thoughts?
thx
