i'm fairly new to python and am looking for some help. What i would like to do is read a csv file and then use a for loop with an if statement to locate at rows of that data contain a value and print it out with a header and some formatting using f'.
The issue i seem to have it when finding the data using the if statement, im unsure what i can output the data to, which will then enable it to be printed out (the search output could contain multiple rows and columns):
with open(r'data.csv', 'r') as csv_file:
# loop through the csv file using for loop
for row in csv_file:
# search each row of data for the input from the user
if panel_number in row:
??
CodePudding user response:
Use the csv
module. Then in your if
statement you can append the row to a list of matches
import csv
matched_rows = []
with open(r'data.csv', 'r') as file:
file.readline() # skip over header line -- remove this if there's no header
csv_file = csv.reader(file)
for row in csv_file:
# search each row of data for the input from the user
if row[0] == panel_number:
matched_rows.append(row)
print(matched_rows)
