issue using dictionary
I having issues with using dictionaries in TC12 (python). When I add a key/value pair and then attempt a lookup via the key, I always get None (aka null). To be more specific, here is my script: ...
Hi John,
Replace
propvalLine.split(',')with
propvalLine.split(', ') # note the spaceYour propvalLine contains spaces after commas -- "CVS, PropFile, ..." so if splitting just by commas the key ends up being " PropFile" (with a leading space) instead of "PropFile".
Alternatively, consider using Python's built-in CSV reader, which can handle delimiters and extra spaces for you:
import csv with open('C:\myfile.csv') as csvfile: reader = csv.reader(csvfile, skipinitialspace = True) dict = { line[1]: line[2] for line in reader if line[0] == 'CSV' } Log.Message( dict['PropFile'] )
