Question

Basically I have a file txt.txt

item1, item2

In the code I want to make an object

Object(item1, item2)

And I don’t know how to get item1 and item2 from the file the way I need. I tried to use a file = open("txt.txt").read() string and split it somehow, but failed. Tried putting it in a list and resulted in having [ and other stuff in item1 and item2 strings.

Answer 1

this answer creates a list of objects, the objects are made by iterating over each line in the file and splitting each line into both items, and then using them to construct the object.

objects = [] #the object list
with open("path/to/file") as reader: #opens the file
    for line in reader: #iterates the lines
        objects.append(Object(*line.strip().split(", "))) #appends the objects to the list

a bit more detail about the last line, it can be opened up like this:

parts = line.strip.split(", ") #each item in the line
obj = Object(parts[0], parts[1]) #like doing Objects(item1, item2) from the line.
objects.append(obj) #add the object to the list
