How to automate list separation. NOOB
#9
I appreciate your help, the only problem is that I would then need to create txt files locally in order to refer to them from the program. Do I understand that correctly? As this raw data is available online, it would be much easier for me to simply copy and paste the data from a web page, plug it into a program to filter out the unwanted elements and then plug the result into a max and min list like the code I posted. I don't need to save the data locally, thankfully.
I'm sorry I can't explain this better; maybe my method wasn't clear.
1. Go to a web page and copy raw data.
2. Paste data into a Python program to filter it and make a list.
3. Paste resulting list into another Python program to give max and min.
4. Paste those outputs into a spreadsheet.
I really just couldn't figure out how to tell IDLE which values I wanted to keep.
I hope that's a little clearer. I hate being so ignorant about something that I can't even explain it.
