Python Tutorial 3.0
So far we have learnt creating data frame, defining variable and some data manipulation after hard coding the data. But practically, we do not define the data like that, we generally import the external data and then work on it.
We should know "How to import and export the data files" and we would learn the same in this article.
Let's import then!!!
Data : Please copy and paste the below data in an excel and save the same as a .csv file. Try to import the same using following commands.
Name | Age_Category | Income_Category | Marital_Status |
Rajat | 25-30 | 20-25 | M |
Vinod | 30-35 | 10-15 | M |
Amit | 25-30 | 15-20 | S |
Suresh | 20-25 | 10-15 | S |
Dinesh | 30-35 | 10-15 | M |
Ganesh | 35-40 | 10-15 | M |
# Importing Pandas library
import pandas as p
Read and Write CSV file # Define Variables
path = 'C:\\data_for_matrix.csv'
# Reading the file
sample=p.read_csv(path)
sample

We can see that a data frame has been generated .
Lets's now learn how to export any file
# Export/Write csv file
sample.to_csv('C:\\data_for_matrix1.csv')
Read and Write Txt file
Copy same data given above and paste it in txt file(data).
# Reading the file
sample=p.read_table('C:\\data.txt')
# Export/Write txt file
sample.to_csv(r'C:\\data1.txt',header=None,index=None,sep=',')
