Question

I am trying to put a file in a dictionary.
The file is like this:

1 some something something
2 go goforit doit 
17 non so 

I am trying something like this but is doesnt work:

def filetodic():
 d={}
 with open("file.txt") as f:
  for line in f:
   key  = line.split()
 return d
print filetodic()

EDIT: The key for every field in the dictionary needs to be the number that appears to be the first element in each line in the file.

Answer 1

Try this:

def filetodic():
    d={}
    f = open("file.txt")
    for line in f:
        key  = line.split()
        d[key[0]]= ' '.join(key[1:])
    return d

print filetodic()
