我们有一个很大的原始数据文件,我们想把它修剪成指定的大小。

如何在python中获取文本文件的前N行?所使用的操作系统对实现有任何影响吗?

如果您有一个非常大的文件,并假设您希望输出为numpy数组,则使用np。Genfromtxt将冻结您的计算机。以我的经验来看,这样好多了:

def load_big_file(fname,maxrows):
'''only works for well-formed text file of space-separated doubles'''

rows = []  # unknown number of lines, so use list

with open(fname) as f:
    j=0        
    for line in f:
        if j==maxrows:
            break
        else:
            line = [float(s) for s in line.split()]
            rows.append(np.array(line, dtype = np.double))
            j+=1
return np.vstack(rows)  # convert list of vectors to array

Python 3:

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = [next(myfile) for x in range(N)]
print(head)

Python 2:

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = [next(myfile) for x in xrange(N)]
print head

下面是另一种方法(Python 2和3都是):

from itertools import islice

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = list(islice(myfile, N))
print(head)

没有特定的方法来读取文件对象暴露的行数。

我想最简单的方法是:

lines =[]
with open(file_name) as f:
    lines.extend(f.readline() for i in xrange(N))
N = 10
with open("file.txt", "a") as file:  # the a opens it in append mode
    for i in range(N):
        line = next(file).strip()
        print(line)

有一个简单的方法来获取前10行:

with open('fileName.txt', mode = 'r') as file:
    list = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in file][:10]
    print(list)

我自己最方便的方法:

LINE_COUNT = 3
print [s for (i, s) in enumerate(open('test.txt')) if i < LINE_COUNT]

基于列表理解的解决方案 函数open()支持迭代接口。enumerate()包含open()和return元组(index, item),然后检查是否在可接受的范围内(如果i < LINE_COUNT),然后简单地打印结果。
