Add new line after finding last string in a region - Nigel11 - Aug-08-2020
Hello
I have this input .txt file (a demo of it here, on a small scale) that after running the Python 3.6 code it should write in the input the following output (please see the output interleaved with #):
Output:Noclue
*Title Test
12125
124125
asdas 1 1 1 1
rthtr 1 1 1 1
asdasf 1 1 1 1
asfasf 1 1 1 1
blabla 1 1 1 1
#Expected "*Title Test2" here
124124124
*Title Dunno
12125
124125
12763125 1 1 1 1
whatever 1 1 1 1
#Expected "*Title Dunno2" here
214142122
#and so on for thousands of them..index = 0
insert = False
currentTitle = ""
testfile = open("test.txt","r")
content = testfile.readlines()
finalContent = content
testfile.close()
# Should change the below line of code I guess to adapt
#titles = ["TitleX","TitleY","TitleZ"]
for line in content:
index = index + 1
for title in titles:
if line in title+"\n":
currentTitle = line
print (line)
if line == "1 1 1 1\n":
insert = True
if (insert == True) and (line != "1 1 1 1\n"):
finalContent.insert(index-1, currentTitle[:6] + "2" + currentTitle[6:])
insert = False
f = open("test.txt", "w")
finalContent = "".join(finalContent)
f.write(finalContent)
f.close()Any help on how to adapt the above code to display the desired output would be more than appreciated!Thanks!

- read input line
- write line to output
- If this is target line, write new data
- Continue loop at step 1 until finished, but eliminate step 3
