I have an excel table with 2 columns called ('NE' and 'Interface'), and what I want to do is: to edit a .txt-file template (which I already have, I show it below) with each Interface value. Then concatenate the txt-files which belongs to the same group of 'NE'.
This is my excel:
this is my txt-file template, i want to change "Interface" with the interface value of the excel:
conf t
**$interface**
no service-policy input QOS-IN_ACCESS
end
conf t
no policy-map QOS-IN_ACCESS
policy-map QOS-IN_ACCESS
class DSCP_VOIX_SIG
set mpls experimental imposition 5
set qos-group 5
end
conf t
**$interface**
service-policy input QOS-IN_ACCESS
end
and this is my code: ( i already concatenate the files, what i need to do is to put them in a group of NE)
from string import Template
import pandas as pd
df3 = pd.read_excel(r"C:\Users\audit_policymap.xlsx")
with open(r"C:\Users\audit_policymap.txt") as fp:
template = Template(fp.read())
content2 = ''
content3 = ''
for i in range(len(df3)):
file_name = df.loc[i, "NE"] + '_output.txt'
with open(file_name, 'w') as fp:
content = template.substitute(interface=df.loc[i, "Interface"])
if df.loc[i, "NE"] == df.loc[i+1, "NE"]:
content2 = str(content2)+'\n'+str(content)+'\n'
content3 = str(content2)+'\n'
fp.write(content2)
else:
content2 = ''
content3 = str(content3)+'\n'+str(content)+'\n'
fp.write(content3)
Summarizing: I want to have one txt-file per 'NE' edited with all the interfaces according to their corresponding 'NE'
NE
column.
DataFrameGroupBy
object, where i
is the unique groupby value from NE
, and g
is the associated group.NE
f'{i}_output.txt'
)
'250002-PEFTTS-2_output.txt'
g
belong only to one of the unique values in NE
, there's no need to check if NE
matches for each row, as you've done in the question.[str(template.substitute(interface=row)) for row in g.Interface]
is a list-comprehension which, for each row in g.Interface
, adds str(template.substitute(interface=row))
to a list.
'\n'.join()
joins each item in the list as a string separated by a newline.for i, g in df.groupby('NE'): # iterate through unique values in NE
file_name = f'{i}_output.txt' # create the empty content string
with open(file_name, 'w') as fp: # open the file
content = '\n'.join([str(template.substitute(interface=row)) for row in g.Interface])
fp.write(content) # write content to file
