How can I add another string before each line ?

Hey @tine,
It's not very clear what you are showing in this thread.

Please read Before asking your question and How do I ask a good question, before posting.

Try

insert =  'inserted string'
newstr = LOINCDATA.replace('\n', '\n' + insert + '\n')[:-len(insert)-1]

Hello this is Gulshan Negi
Well, you can try this code to get what you are looking for.

LOINCDATA = """

"""


# Split the string into lines
lines = LOINCDATA.strip().split("\n")


# Define the string to be added before each line
prefix = "PRE: "


# Add the prefix to each line
modified_lines = [prefix + line for line in lines]


# Join the modified lines back into a single string
modified_loincdata = "\n".join(modified_lines)


# Print the modified LOINCDATA
print(modified_loincdata)

Thanks

Hiya, Give this a try:-

To add another string before each line in the given LOINCDATA string, you can use the following Python code:

[CODE=python]LOINCDATA = """
lab item, result, reference range
ALK PHOS, 72, 35-100
BG RANDOM, 125 mg dl^-1, 70-125
BUN, 16 mg/dl, 7-25
CALCIUM, 9.6 mg/dl, 8.2-10.2
CHLORIDE, 101 mmol/l, 96-109
CO2, 27 mmol/l, 23-29
CREATININE, 0.7 mg/dl, 0.6-1.2
PO4, 2.9 mg/dl, 2.5-4.5
K, 4.5 mmol l^-1, 3.5-5.3
SGOT (AST), 31 U/L, 0-40
BILI TOTAL, 0.7 mg/dl, 0.0-1.3
URIC ACID, 4.8 mg/decilitre, 3.4-7.0
LDH TOTAL, 136 IU/Litre, 0-200
SODIUM, 135 mmol/liter, 135-145
"""

# Add a string before each line
prefix = "PREFIX: "
LOINCDATA_with_prefix = '\n'.join([prefix + line for line in LOINCDATA.strip().split('\n')])

print(LOINCDATA_with_prefix)

[/CODE]

This code will add the string "PREFIX: " before each line in the LOINCDATA string and print the updated string. The resulting output will have the prefix added to each line:

[CODE=python]PREFIX: lab item, result, reference range
PREFIX: ALK PHOS, 72, 35-100
PREFIX: BG RANDOM, 125 mg dl^-1, 70-125
PREFIX: BUN, 16 mg/dl, 7-25
PREFIX: CALCIUM, 9.6 mg/dl, 8.2-10.2
PREFIX: CHLORIDE, 101 mmol/l, 96-109
PREFIX: CO2, 27 mmol/l, 23-29
PREFIX: CREATININE, 0.7 mg/dl, 0.6-1.2
PREFIX: PO4, 2.9 mg/dl, 2.5-4.5
PREFIX: K, 4.5 mmol l^-1, 3.5-5.3
PREFIX: SGOT (AST), 31 U/L, 0-40
PREFIX: BILI TOTAL, 0.7 mg/dl, 0.0-1.3
PREFIX: URIC ACID, 4.8 mg/decilitre, 3.4-7.0
PREFIX: LDH TOTAL, 136 IU/Litre, 0-200
PREFIX: SODIUM, 135 mmol/liter, 135-145

[/CODE]

You could just use a text editor that supports regular expressions, such as TextPad, and replace "^" with the required string. Or, if there are just a small number of lines (you didn't say), just insert the string on the first line, then select/copy and repeatedly paste (CTRL-V) at the start of each line. Surely that would be less trouble than custom coding.

Is this a text file?
