I have a tab delimeted file that I want to convert into a mysql table. there are 25 tab delimeted fields in the text file.
I can get the values in when I construct the SQL statement word by word and get each value individually stated in the VALUES part but when I try to get the list as a whole it does not work. Here is the code. I couldn't figure it out. Any ideas?
lines=open(path, "r").readlines()
for line in lines[1:]:
linex=line.strip().split("\t")
linex.insert(0,'sometextindex')
try:
cursor.execute('INSERT INTO variants VALUES(%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)',linex)
except:
print 'line number=',a,linex
