I have a text file with contents like this:
ADUMMY ADDRESS1
BDUMMY MEMBER
AA1400 EL DORA RD
BCARLOS
A509 W CARDINAL AVE
BJASMINE
I want a python script to count the number of lines that begin with "B" but do not contain the substring "DUMMY".
Here is what I have so far but I dont know how to do the filter in the "if" statement.
def countLinesMD(folder,f):
file = open(folder+f,"r")
Counter = 0
# Reading from file
Content = file.read()
CoList = Content.split("\n")
for i in CoList:
if i.startswith("B"):
Counter += 1
return Counter
>Solution :
I believe you can just do this
if i.startswith("B") and "DUMMY" not in i:
