Loop through file

[LRNPHP]

Hi There,

I'm very new to Python. Is there a easy way of looping trhough a file and using the values in a grep command?

Value A              Value B

grep ValueA File.txt | grep ValueB

It's not exactly a python question, although your problem could probably be programmed in python. Apparently you are trying to extract something from File.txt using the 2 columns ValueA and ValueB. Can you explain with more details the contents of File.txt and the expected output ?

Hi Gribouillis,

The following is the content of File.txt

2011-12-14 20:54:09, 797410378,

If you are using python, you dont need a grep command for this

from __future__ import print_function
valueA = '2011-12-14'
valueB = '825895818'

with open('File.txt') as ifh:
    for line in ifh:
        if valueA in line and valueB in line:
            print(line, end='')
