python - Take certain words and print the frequency of each phrase/word? -

-

i have file has list of bands , album , year produced. need write function go through file , find different names of bands , count how many times each of bands appear in file.

the way file looks this:

beatles - revolver (1966) nirvana - nevermind (1991) beatles - sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band (1967) u2 - joshua tree (1987) beatles - beatles (1968) beatles - abbey road (1969) guns n' roses - appetite destruction (1987) radiohead - ok computer (1997) led zeppelin - led zeppelin 4 (1971) u2 - achtung baby (1991) pink floyd - dark side of moon (1973) michael jackson -thriller (1982) rolling stones - exile on main street (1972) clash - london calling (1979) u2 - can't leave behind (2000) weezer - pinkerton (1996) radiohead - bends (1995) smashing pumpkins - mellon collie , infinite sadness (1995) . . .

the output has in descending order of frequency , this:

band1: number1 band2: number2 band3: number3

here code have far:

def read_albums(filename) :      file = open("albums.txt", "r")     bands = {}     line in file :         words = line.split()         word in words:             if word in '-' :                 del(words[words.index(word):])         string1 = ""         in words :             list1 = []              string1 = string1 + + " "             list1.append(string1)         k in list1 :             if (k in bands) :                 bands[k] = bands[k] +1             else :                 bands[k] = 1       word in bands :         frequency = bands[word]         print(word + ":", len(bands))

i think there's easier way this, i'm not sure. also, i'm not sure how sort dictionary frequency, need convert list?

you right, there easier way, counter:

from collections import counter  open('bandfile.txt') f:    counts = counter(line.split('-')[0].strip() line in f if line)  band, count in counts.most_common():     print("{0}:{1}".format(band, count))

what doing: line.split('-')[0].strip() line in f if line?

this line long form of following loop:

temp_list = [] line in f:     if line: # makes sure skip blank lines       bits = line.split('-')       temp_list.add(bits[0].strip())  counts = counter(temp_list)

unlike loop above - doesn't create intermediary list. instead, creates generator expression - more memory efficient way step through things; used argument counter.

plot - Remove Objects from Legend When You Have Also Used Fit, Matlab -

i've plotted data points , fitted exponential curve between them using 'fit' in matlab. problem fit-function got fitted line wanted plot, markers on top of regular markers. solved problem plotting wanted markers on top of unwanted couldn't seen. problem. when want show legends dots in there. how can remove markers legend without removing fitted line since both of them hidden inside fit-function? can stop 'fit' plotting unwanted markers? so, want remove blue dot called 'hoff' in picture below. you can leave out legend-entries manually leaving out handles of lines, dont want in legend. try this: %if plot something, want showing in legend, save handle: h_line = plot(x,y) %you dont want show line? dont anything, plot it: plot(mymarker) %then set legend-> can add text legend-entries %a cell-array containing strings want show up: legend([h_line another_line],{'text1' 'text2'}) with example (see comments) came solution: ...

java - Why does my date parsing return a weird date? -

-
here code using: string string = "08/07/2013".replace('/', '-'); date date = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd").parse(string); why date return: "wen jan 3 00:00:00 est 14"? not @ date format told use. edit: need format because database using requires format. the format use parse date string, not match it. using yyyy 08 . use following format: new simpledateformat("dd-mm-yyyy") and why @ replacing / - ? can build pattern original string only: string string = "08/07/2013" date date = new simpledateformat("dd/mm/yyyy").parse(string); and if want date string in yyyy-mm-dd format, can format date using dateformat#format(date) method: string formatteddate = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd").format(date); see also: change date format in java string simpledateformat java doc
