Hello so I have a file that I have split into containers and are pulling from them. I confirmed that all of them are the same and pulling [3] will get me a code and [7] will get me a result. But [7] has lines that repeat and I only want one instance of [7] to show. I'm trying to use sets but I cant find a way to use it. I've looked up sets and understand a bit, but I can't figure out how to use it. Thank you for reading.
f = open(textfile.txt", "r")
error = f.readlines()
for l in error:
s = l.split()
if "70" in s[3]:
print("Error:", s[3], "Color:", s[7])
f.close()
Right now it will show up as:
Error: 701 Color: Purple
Error: 701 Color: Purple
Error: 702 Color: Pink
Error: 702 Color: Pink
Error: 702 Color: Pink
Error: 705 Color: Black
Error: 705 Color: Black
Error: 705 Color: Black
Error: 705 Color: Black
But I want it to show up as:
Error: 701 Color: Purple
Error: 702 Color: Pink
Error: 705 Color: Black
Use set is a wise choice, it won't contain duplicated elements.
errorMessages = set()
f = open("textfile.txt", "r")
error = f.readlines()
for l in error:
s = l.split()
if "70" in s[3]:
errorMessages.add(f"Error: {s[3]} Color: {s[7]}")
f.close()
for msg in errorMessages:
print(msg)
