Converting data lines columns to values in python

Question

how do i use enemurate or some other function to return these values in a txt file i input to python as a whole string

TW11 42.83 -72.94   2.1

TW22 41.727 -75.81 3.9

my work so far is

in_file =open('tow.txt','r')

for line in_infile:
    L=line.strip().split()
    Tower = L[0]
    Lat = L[1]
    Long = L[2]
    ComDis = L[3]

print (Tower,Lat,Long,ComDis)

however i can only return the first line of the input file, there are about 20 lines in the file just wanted to give a short example

Answer 1

In python, indentation matters. You're printing only last line. If you want to print each line, move your print inside the for look by indenting it:

in_file =open('tow.txt','r')

for line in_infile:
    L=line.strip().split()
    Tower = L[0]
    Lat = L[1]
    Long = L[2]
    ComDis = L[3]

    print (Tower,Lat,Long,ComDis)
