Python Data table -

i have data textfile called “data” delimited comma in each row.

the first 3 lines of file following:

“(1,abc,abcde)”,”24” “(10,abd,abc11)”,”12” “(6,abe,aberd)”,”39” 

in file, values in each row string , integer.

i first read file:

target=pd.read_csv(’data',sep=',',names=[‘col1’,'col2’]) 

what want see in target table following 5 column table:

cola  colb   colc    col1           col2 1     abc    abcde    (1,abc,abcde)  24 10    abd    abc11    (10,abd,abc11) 12 6     abe    aberd    (6,abe,aberd)  39 

what tried was:

for index,row in target.iterrows():     tup=tuple(row[0][1:len(row[0])-1].split(","))      target[’cola'][index]=tup[0]     target[’colb'][index]=tup[1]     target[’colc'][index]=tup[2] 

this done change string tuple can create new columns target datatable. delete col1 code above doesn't work reason. crashes..

your code peppered "smart quotes": “” instead of " , ‘’ instead of '. remove them , replace them corresponding straight ("dumb") quotes, straight quotes have python meaning you're looking for.
