I have a file that contains the following content. This is a sample of the file. The fine contains up to 1000 values.

'1022409', '10856967', '11665741'

I need to read the file and create this list ['1022409', '10856967', '11665741']

I’m using the following code:

with open('Pafos.txt', 'r') as f:
    parcelIds_list = f.readlines()
    print (parcelIds_list[0].split(','))

The value is of parcelIds_list parameter is this list ["'1022409', '10856967', '11665741'"] with only index 0.

Any ideas please?

>Solution :

Follow this code

with open ('Pafos.txt', 'r') as f:
  # To split 
  num = f.readline().split(', ')
  # To remove ' and create list
  # If u want list of string
  num_list = [x.replace('\'', '') for x in num]

Output

['1022409', '10856967', '11665741']

If u want list of int

# If u want list of int
num_list = [int(x.replace('\'', '')) for x in num]

Output

[1022409, 10856967, 11665741]

If u have more than one row in file, you need to add some extra line of code
