Python Code to read a single line (first line) from a file:
file_name = 'test_data_0' f = open(file_name,'r') line_in = f.readline() print(line_in)
Output of the above python code:
manipulate data objects: date, time, user name, host IP
Split a single line into words and store all the words in a list
Python code to split the line "line_in" into words:
word_list = line_in.split() # <-- split the line into words using space
# store all the words as a list to word_list
print(word_list) # <-- you should see the list of word when this line is executed
