Python read in string from file and split it into values [closed]

Question

I have a file in the format below:

995957,16833579
995959,16777241
995960,16829368
995961,50431654

I want to read in each line but split the values into the appropriate values. For example the first line would be split into:

x = 995957
y = 16833579

Since its a string when you read it in and I want to convert them to an int and split them, how exactly would I go about doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Something like this - for each line read into string variable a:

>>> a = "123,456"
>>> b = a.split(",")
>>> b
['123', '456']
>>> c = [int(e) for e in b]
>>> c
[123, 456]
>>> x, y = c
>>> x
123
>>> y
456

Now you can do what is necessary with x and y as assigned, which are integers.
