    copied!<p>I am building a small database (for personal use), from over a 1000 files. I am looking for specific word, but the issue that I have if the word is not contained in the file how can i write a NoData line, what I would like to have is:</p> <ul> <li>Africa Botswana test 51.1922546 -113.9366341 </li> <li>Africa Kenya Skydive Kenya -13.788388 33.78498</li> <li>Africa Malawi Skydive Malawi NoData NoData</li> <li>Africa Mauritius SkyDive Austral 30.5000854 -8.824510574</li> <li>Africa Morocco Beni Mellal NoData NoData</li> </ul> <blockquote> <pre><code>for i in os.listdir(Main_Path): if "-" in i: for filename in os.listdir(Main_Path+i): if ".dat" in filename and os.path.isdir(Main_Path+i): f_split = filename.split("-") if len(f_split) == 4: continent.append(f_split[0]) country.append(f_split[1]) state.append(f_split[2].split(".")[0]) else: continent.append(f_split[0]) country.append("") state.append(f_split[1].split(".")[0]) d = open(Main_Path+i+"/" + filename, "r") files = d.readlines() d.close() for k, line in enumerate(files): if "Dropzone.com :" in line: dzname.append(line.split(":")[1].strip()) elif 'id="lat"' in line: lat.append(line.split("=")[3].split('"')[1].strip()) myFile = open(Main_Path+"MYFILE.csv", "wb") wtr= csv.writer( myFile ) for a,b,c,d,e in zip(continent,country,state,dzname,lat): wtr.writerow([a,b,c,d,e]) myFile.close() </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>I am stack "elif 'id="lat"' in line:" because it adds to the list "lat" only the files which contains id = lat. I do understand why but I would like the parser to return and add to the list an NoData</p> <p>sorry i wrote the question from another comp.</p>
