I have two csv files result.csv and sample.csv.
result.csv
M11251TH1230
M11543TH4292
M11435TDS144
sample.csv
M11435TDS144,STB#1,Router#1
M11543TH4292,STB#2,Router#1
M11509TD9937,STB#3,Router#1
M11543TH4258,STB#4,Router#1
I have a python script which will compare both the files if line in result.csv matches with the first word in the line in sample.csv, then append 1 else append 0 at every line in sample.csv
It should look like M11435TDS144,STB#1,Router#1,1 and M11543TH4258,STB#4,Router#1,0 since M11543TH4258 is not found in result.csv
script.py
import csv
with open('result.csv', 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
result_list = []
for row in reader:
result_list.extend(row)
with open('sample.csv', 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
sample_list = []
for row in reader:
if row[0] in result_list:
sample_list.append(row + [1])
else:
sample_list.append(row + [0])
with open('sample.csv', 'wb') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerows(sample_list)
sample output(sample.csv)if I run the script two times
M11435TDS144,STB#1,Router#1,1,1
M11543TH4292,STB#2,Router#1,1,1
M11509TD9937,STB#3,Router#1,0,0
M11543TH4258,STB#4,Router#1,0,0
Every time I run the script, 1's and 0's are being appended in a new column sample.csv. Is there any way every time I run the script, I can replace the appended column instead of increasing columns.
