Python - CSV: Large file with rows of different lengths
- by dassouki
In short, I have a 20,000,000 line csv file that has different row lengths. This is due to archaic data loggers and proprietary formats. We get the end result as a csv file in the following format. MY goal is to insert this file into a postgres database. How Can I do the following:
Keep the first 8 columns and my last 2 columns, to have a consistent CSV file
Add a Column to the file.
