Hello, I'm brand new to python having worked through an online python course for beginners, but with no other experience. For my first project I've been tasked with what I assume is a pretty simple task, but that is going right over my head. I'm usually pretty good at tracking down examples or tutorials that can get me where I need to go, but this has got me. I am two days into online searches and tutorials, none of which seem to be what I need or getting me any closer to finding a path forward. Any help or direction this group could provide would be very helpful.
Essentially, I have a .txt file that contains a single very long string that I need to rearrange so its readable in a different program. Here is a much simplified example:
Original data file-all in a single string.
{"header1":[data1],"header2"[dataA, dataB, dataC], "header3":[dataX, dataY, dataZ], "header4":[[0, 1, 2]], "header5":[dataz]}
Needed format
#header1= data1
#header5= dataz
#data table= header5, header2, header3
0 dataA dataX
1 dataB dataY
2 dataC dataZ
As I said, any help or direction on where to look or what this type of reformatting is called would be very helpful. Thank you.
