How to use dictionary to manipulate a text line

[ning2009]

Hi, there

Let me put my resource line and target lines here firstly

resource line:
56 J=7224,164 SEC=CON450X450 ANG=45

target lines:
*beam section,section=R, elset=CON450X45056,material=con2
0.45,0.45
0.707107,0.707107,0

I have a dictionary below (created using woooee's code)
Frame_Section contains {'CON450X450': [['MAT', 'CONC2'], ['SH', 'R'], ['T', '.45,.45']], 'B400': [['MAT', 'CONC2'], ['SH', 'R'], ['T', '.16,.4']], 'FSEC1': [['MAT', 'CON3'], ['SH', 'P'], ['T', '.3048']], 'B400H': [['MAT', 'CONC2'], ['SH', 'R'], ['T', '.16,.4']], 'B200': [['MAT', 'CONC2'], ['SH', 'R'], ['T', '.16,.2']], 'B300': [['MAT', 'CONC2'], ['SH', 'R'], ['T', '.16,.3']]} .

I need to
1) search the dictionary Frame_Section to identify if 'CON450X450' exists;if so, extract data from "MAT" and "T" and put them into the target lines. For example, 0.45,0.45 comes from and con2 comes from .
2) using data just after "ANG=" to perform a simple maths calculation. For example, 0.707107,0.707107,0 comes from sin45, cos45,0 (45 comes from " ANG=45")

Be honest, these two questions are challenging for me as I just started using Python one month ago. I very appreciate your guide so that I can move further.

Hi, jice

Thank you so much.

I am trying your code. When resline changes "56 J=7224,164 SEC=CON450X450 ANG=45" to "56 J=7224,164 SEC=CON450X450 NSEG=3 ANG=45", the code prompts a bug. I am working on it and will update as soon as I get any progress.

Have a nice weekend

I changed the resline as suggested but everything works fine here.
What error have you got ?

haha, you did some copy errors :

Hi, Jice

if 'NSEG' in line1 and 'ANG' in line1:

            for line9 in resultelines:
                binf.write(line9)

But I'm not sure your error comes from this code...
It means that your Frame_Section_dic is not created before you use it (something like var=Frame_Section_dic[...]) when you modify your line.
But, as your code isn't complete, I can't see where this occurs (you can send me your whole code in PM if you want a more complete advise)
Anyway, try the correction I've posted and tell me if this works :)

Hi,

Just update something for this problem. I believe the problem is function section_material_read() from Line 27 to 68.
Even "Return" were used to save the obtained dictionaries: Shell_Section_dic, Frame_Section_dic and Material_dic in the function, these three dictionaries were not saved properly for later use. I do not know what is going on about it?

Could you please point out the error I made? thank you so much.

best wishes

[jice]

I looked at your code.
As far as I could go (as I can't execute everything) is that you call a function without having defined the parameters :

section_material_read(Shell_Section_dic,Frame_Section_dic,Material_dic)

At this point of your program, these variables (Shell_Section_dic, Frame_Section_dic, Material_dic) are not defined yet.
Simply do this here rather than in the section_material_read function :

Shell_Section_dic = {}
Frame_Section_dic = {}
Material_dic = {}
section_material_read(Shell_Section_dic,Frame_Section_dic,Material_dic)

and this error will normally disapear

As I could see your code, my advice would be :

don't put a function def, then some standalone lines of code then some function def again and some more standalone lines then other functions...
This makes your code hard to follow.

Put all your code in short functions (if not in classes) and, at the end of your file, one function call. That's all.
A good program is a well organised program. If not well organised, your program will never be able to grow properly.

good luck

Hi, jice,

The error does disappear with your detailed guide. I should read a simple Python book through to avoid this kind of fatal erros. I have also not pondered the structure of this code as I thought I would finish it within a week. I will spend a day to tidy up this code. Thank you a lot.

Now a new error comes out:

I am working on it.

This is because of the structure of your dictionnary : as you use something like
dic={KEY1:[[key1, val1], [key2, val2]], KEY2:[...]}
I used something like
dic={KEY1:{key1:val1, key2:val2},KEY2:{...}}
(look carefully my first post about that)

The way you built your dictionnary is certainly not very far from the way you can build mine.
But, in this case, mine is much easier to use because 'IDES', 'T,' 'E'... are keys and not only the first element of a list so you can do
value=dic[KEY1][key2]
instead of

for element in dic[KEY1]:
    if element[0]==key2:
        value=element[1]
        break

Hi, Jice

I have not modified my code yet as I am reading a book called "Learning Python" due to the error I made. I will come back after my Easter break.

Have a nice Easter.

all the best

Here are some clues to make a dictionary :

For example, your append_rec_list function :

def append_rec_list(rec_in, return_dic, key):
   conditions = rec_in.split()
   for each_c in conditions:
      sub_conditions = each_c.split("=")  ## a list with 2 elements
      return_dic[key].append(sub_conditions)
   return return_dic

will become

def append_rec_list(rec_in, return_dic, key):
   conditions = rec_in.split()
   for each_c in conditions:
      sub_conditions = each_c.split("=")  ## a list with 2 elements
      if len(sub_conditions)==2:
          return_dic[key].update({sub_conditions[0]:sub_conditions[1]})
      elif len(sub_conditions)==1: # if you need this...
          return_dic[key].update({"idx":sub_conditions[0]})
   return return_dic

and

def new_rec_list(rec_in, dic_return):
   conditions = rec_in.split()
   name, key = conditions[0].split("=")   ## split first one only
   dic_return[key]= []                     ## empty list
        
   ##   process element #2 through the end of the list
   stop = len(conditions)
   for num in range(1, stop):
      sub_conditions = conditions[num].split("=")  ## a list with 2 elements
      dic_return[key].append(sub_conditions)
   return dic_return, key

will become

def new_rec_list(rec_in, dic_return):
   conditions = rec_in.split()
   name, key = conditions[0].split("=")   ## split first one only
   dic_return[key]= {}                     ## empty dictionary
        
   stop = len(conditions)
   for num in range(1, stop):
      sub_conditions = conditions[num].split("=")  ## a list with 2 elements
      dic_return[key].update(dict([conditions[num]])) # another way to make the dictionary... But you can do as in the append function
   return dic_return, key

This haven't been tested as I don't have any file to process and i don't want to build one :)

Hi, jice

Thank you so much for your further guide. In your code,
1) you modified type of dic_return[key] from list to dicts;
2) you replaced list methd append() with dicts method update().

After adapting your code, I encountered the error: "ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 6; 2 is required"
on code line 9 "dic_return[key].update(dict([conditions[num]]))".

In case you might need my data file, let me put here as well

This should be better

Hi, Jice

It works pretty well. Thank you so much. Eventually I started to use Python to achieve something without your endless help.

all the best
