Isolate a column from a text file in Python

Hello,

I would be curious to see what you may have tried and what doesn’t work as you’d hoped... There are plenty of examples online for reading CSV files or even just for splitting strings.

For example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=python+string+split

Best regards,

Hello

if you are strict, you cannot get what you want
There’s no l in the 2nd line and there’s no cm in the 3rd, it’s the opposite.

That aside. Your starting file is a file separated by ; (a Microsoft csv) and you want to retrieve the 3rd piece of information from each line.

I don’t know how to write it in Python but the principle is simple:

• split the line using ; as delimiter (that’s called split)
• retrieve the 3rd item of the split.

And even with a bit of luck, in Python there’s already something that does that, and it would be called a CSV Parser
