Calling gawk from python
- by chavanak
Hi,
I am trying to call gawk from python in this manner.
import os
import string
import codecs
ligand_file=open( "2WTKA_ab.txt", "r" ) #Open the receptor.txt file
ligand_lines=ligand_file.readlines() # Read all the lines into the array
ligand_lines=map( string.strip, ligand_lines )
ligand_file.close()
for i in ligand_lines:
os.system ( " gawk %s %s"%( "'{if ($2==""i"") print $0}'", 'unique_count_a_from_ac.txt' ) )
My problem is that "i" is not being replaced by the value it represent. The value "i" represents is an integer and not a string. Can anyone help me out?
Cheers,
Chavanak
