Question

If in a file the values present are in either ” or , separated values

         "Name" "Tom" "CODE 041" "Has"
         "Address" "NSYSTEMS c/o" "First Term" "123" 18  
         "Occ" "Engineer" "Level1" "JT" 18

How should the python script be written so as to get all the above values individually

Answer 1

Your question is a little vague, and there are no commas in your example, so it’s a bit hard to provide a good answer.

On your example file containing

"Name" "Tom" "CODE 041" "Has"
"Address" "NSYSTEMS c/o" "First Term" "123" 18  
"Occ" "Engineer" "Level1" "JT" 18

this script

import csv
reader = csv.reader(open('test.txt'), delimiter=' ', quotechar='"')
for row in reader:
    print(row)

produces

['Name', 'Tom', 'CODE 041', 'Has']
['Address', 'NSYSTEMS c/o', 'First Term', '123', '18']
['Occ', 'Engineer', 'Level1', 'JT', '18']

This assumes that the delimiter between values is a space. If it’s a tab, use delimiter='\t' instead.

You’re out of luck with this approach if delimiters change throughout the file – in this case they are not valid CSV/TSV files anymore. But all this is just speculation until you can provide some actual and relevant examples of the data you want to analyse.
