  1. POPython read file in DOT format and return city name list
    text
    copied!<p><strong>hey everyone the question is like this, this is homework question to be honest but I am just stuck and its been forever. My question is, since the city has different index positions in each line how can we iterate line by line and return city names into a list?</strong> (any help that can get me started will be appreciated I am not being lazy I really did work on this for couple hours already)</p> <pre><code>citylist(filename) reads a file in the DOT format and returns a list of city names, one for each line in the file. The DOT format may have trailing spaces on the city name; make sure citylist creates a list of city names with trailing spaces removed (easy using Python's strip() method). Two test cases are shown below, for lines at index 3 and 347. citylist("DOT500.txt")[3] 'TUCSON' citylist("DOT500.txt")[347] 'NORTH VILLE' </code></pre> <p>and below is the DOT file(part of it) </p> <pre><code>1 958164 TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 1994 19941223 N 0 0 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK ARNOLD CA JT3DJ81W8R0 19950103 19950103 ABS SYSTEM FAILURE, AT 20MPH.
