1 list every line 1 key every word

Question

Hi there. I would like to know if this could be possible.
File.txt
Word1, word2
Word3, word4

From that file i want to create:
List1 = [word1, word2]
List2 = [Word3, word4]

The first part of my program write data input on a file.
The second one read these data and store them into list, on line by list, 1 word or sentence separated by comma by key list.
Its useful because when the program is closed all variables are reseted. Thats my way to have a kind of savestate.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

use open() method
let's say your file is called state.txt

f = open('state.txt', 'r') # open state.txt in read mode
lst = f.read().split(' ') # read the file and split by spaces
this will create a list of words from the file which were seperated by a space as delimiter

from there create a list of pairs:
pairs = [lst[x:x+2] for x in range(0, len(lst), 2)]

Answer 2

Yes, it's possible... Not necessarly the most adequat, but it works: maybe more accurate to use sqlite? And if you target python on android ( it may be lists made me thinking to it ), there are built-in kind of cookies...

Answer 3

'''
Create a plain
text file in the directory
you have your code stored.
In the example case called mytext.txt
with your data written on seperate lines
word1,word2
word3,word4
Look at python's
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html
Reading and Writing Files
There are many options, if you want to experiment
'''
my_data = []
with open('mytext.txt','r+') as my_file:
for line in my_file:
# removes new line characters
new_line = line.strip()
# converts plain text to list
my_data.append(new_line.split(','))
# Assign to names as you desire
line1 = my_data[0]
line2 = my_data[1]
print(line1)
print(line2)

Answer 4

Happy Christmas!

I would like to thank you for you help. Richard your solution did the job with a little modification.

Here is the code.
temp.txt:
word1,word 2
word 3,word4
word 5,word 6

list1 = []
i = 1
with open('temp.txt','r+') as my_file:
for line in my_file:
# removes new line characters
new_line = line.strip()
# converts plain text to list
locals()["list"+str(i)] = new_line.split(',')
i += 1

print(list1[0]) = word1
print(list1[1]) = word 2
print(list2[0]) = word 3
print(list2[1]) = word4
print(list3[0]) = word 5
print(list3[1]) = word 6

This is perfect! Thank you again
Hope this can help others coding dudes !
