[FIXED] Split specific line in text file to x, y variables in python

Issue

I have made a code in python that read text file (Test.text), the text file contains data like in below

10 20
15 90
22 89
12 33

I can read specific line by use this code

  particular_line = linecache.getline('Test.txt', 1)
  print(particular_line)

I tried to use code to split the text file to x, y value but it got all lines not the specific line that I need

with open('Test.txt') as f:
x,y = [], []
for l in f:
    row = l.split()
    x.append(row[0])
    y.append(row[1])
    

So how to get specific line and split it to two values x and y

Solution

You might do

  particular_line = linecache.getline('Test.txt', 1)
  print(particular_line)
  x, y = particular_line.split()
  print(x)  # 10
  print(y)  # 20

.split() does give list with 2 elements, I used so called unpacking to get 1st element into variable x and 2nd into y.
