fedit.close()

Code: Select all

open fin
open fout
try
    while True:
        a = fin readline
        b = fin readline
        fout write ( float(a) - float(b) )
except:
    pass
finally
    close fin
    close fout

Hope this helps,

so not having your original file to test against created a test file from your posted results

I hope this is the correct layout.

so this is the code I came up with

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
infile = "/home/pi/edit.txt"
outfile = "/home/pi/answer.txt"
count = sum(1 for line in open(infile,"r"))

result = open(infile,"r")
answer = open(outfile,"a")
while count > 0:
	
	valuea = (result.readline())
	if len(valuea) <= 5:
		print valuea
		answer.write (str(valuea))
		count = count - 1
	else:
		valuea = float(valuea)
		print "a", valuea
		valueb = float(result.readline())
		print "b", valueb
		valuec = valueb - valuea
		print "result", valuec
		answer.write (str(valuec) + "\n")
		count = count - 2
		
result.close
answer.close

and these were the results in the answer file

Code: Select all

now you will have to change the infile and outfile references to match you original posted values
so hope it works and does as you wish, you can remove all the print statements if you wish, please check I have the math round the right way.
if it does not work as expected please let me know with any error messages.
