Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Do you know how to open and read files with python?

[limber horizon]

i know how to open the file with python, yeah

[odd mist]

Have you worked with csv files before?

[limber horizon]

no

[odd mist]

Are you comfortable using for loops?

[limber horizon]

i've learned it but i've never put it into practice before

[odd mist]

You'll need to use a for loop to access each line of this csv file

python has the csv module specifically for parsing csv files

it handles splitting each line of the file into its individual columns which makes it all easier to access

see if you can start at least by opening the file with python code

[limber horizon]

i can open it using vs code

[odd mist]

what editor you use doesn't really matter

I'm not saying to literally open the file

[limber horizon]

oh ok

[odd mist]

I'm saying to read the contents of the file using python

[odd mist]

Like you said here

[limber horizon]

oh i guess i dont know how to do that, maybe this project is too much for someone at my level

[odd mist]

There's only a few features you'd really have to learn to do this which overall are fairly basic

.rp open file

and again this 2nd link would be good for specifically dealing with csv files

[limber horizon]

could you give me an example of what this code would look like
