This is the new input file format. I need to automate the process of replacing the content of one column in a .csv file with the use of python. I can also open the .csv file using Notepad and replace the content of the column but the file is very huge and it is taking a long time.
Name ID class Num
"kanika",""University ISD_po.log";" University /projects/asd/new/high/sde"","MBA","12"
"Ambika",""University ISD_po.log";" University /projects/asd/new/high/sde"","MS","13"
In the above, I need to replace the content of ID column. ID column is very inconsistent as it has big spaces and symbols like(; , /) in the content.The new content in the ID column should be "input".
This Id column is enclosed with 2 double quotes and has some extra spaces as well. Whereas other columns have only 1 double quote.
Is there any way to do it in python?
