I need to read a file that contains this:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
... into a 2-Dimensional python list. This list has already been built in the main function of my program. Here is the code:
def main():
old = [ [" "]*COLUMN for i in range(ROW)]
user_file = input("blah blah blah: ")
getfromfile(old,user_file)
def getfromfile(old,user_file):
old = open(user_file, 'r')
old = old.read()- COLUMN is a global variable with a value of 10, the same for ROW
...When I return old to the main function and print old it just prints an empty 10x10 array. I know in this piece of code I dont return it at all, that is because I have tried multiple ways of changing the getfromfile function and for some reason I can't figure out how to actually read the file INTO the 2-D list. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
