Here's an optimized way to parse the file with re, first taking the ID and then parsing the data tuples. This takes advantage of the fact that file objects are iterable. When you iterate over an open file, you get the individual lines as strings, from which you can extract the meaningful data elements.



import re
import pandas as pd

SEP_RE = re.compile(r":s+")
DATA_RE = re.compile(r"(?P<term>[a-z]+)s+(?P<weight>d+.d+)", re.I)


def parse(filepath: str):
def _parse(filepath):
with open(filepath) as f:
for line in f:
id, rest = SEP_RE.split(line, maxsplit=1)
for match in DATA_RE.finditer(rest):
yield [int(id), match["term"], float(match["weight"])]
return list(_parse(filepath))


Example:



>>> df = pd.DataFrame(parse("/Users/bradsolomon/Downloads/doc.txt"),
... columns=["Id", "Term", "weight"])
>>>
>>> df
Id Term weight
0 1 frack 0.733
1 1 shale 0.700
2 10 space 0.645
3 10 station 0.327
4 10 nasa 0.258
5 4 celebr 0.262
6 4 bahar 0.345

>>> df.dtypes
Id int64
Term object
weight float64
dtype: object



Walkthrough



SEP_RE looks for an initial separator: a literal : followed by one or more spaces. It uses maxsplit=1 to stop once the first split is found. Granted, this assumes your data is strictly formatted: that the format of your entire dataset consistently follows the example format laid out in your question.



After that, DATA_RE.finditer() deals with each (term, weight) pair extraxted from rest. The string rest itself will look like frack 0.733, shale 0.700,. .finditer() gives you multiple match objects, where you can use ["key"] notation to access the element from a given named capture group, such as (?P<term>[a-z]+).



An easy way to visualize this is to use an example line from your file as a string:



>>> line = "1: frack 0.733, shale 0.700,n"
>>> SEP_RE.split(line, maxsplit=1)
['1', 'frack 0.733, shale 0.700,n']


Now you have the initial ID and rest of the components, which you can unpack into two identifiers.



>>> id, rest = SEP_RE.split(line, maxsplit=1)
>>> it = DATA_RE.finditer(rest)
>>> match = next(it)
>>> match
<re.Match object; span=(0, 11), match='frack 0.733'>
>>> match["term"]
'frack'
>>> match["weight"]
'0.733'


The better way to visualize it is with pdb. Give it a try if you dare ;)



Disclaimer



This is one of those questions that demands a particular type of solution that may not generalize well if you ease up restrictions on your data format.



For instance, it assumes that each each Term can only take upper or lowercase ASCII letters, nothing else. If you have other Unicode characters as identifiers, you would want to look into other re characters such as w.

You can use the DataFrame constructor if you massage your input to the appropriate format. Here is one way:



import pandas as pd
from itertools import chain

text="""1: frack 0.733, shale 0.700,
10: space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258,
4: celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345 """

df = pd.DataFrame(
list(
chain.from_iterable(
map(lambda z: (y[0], *z.strip().split()), y[1].split(",")) for y in
map(lambda x: x.strip(" ,").split(":"), text.splitlines())
)
),
columns=["Id", "Term", "weight"]
)

print(df)
# Id Term weight
#0 4 frack 0.733
#1 4 shale 0.700
#2 4 space 0.645
#3 4 station 0.327
#4 4 nasa 0.258
#5 4 celebr 0.262
#6 4 bahar 0.345


Explanation



I assume that you've read your file into the string text. The first thing you want to do is strip leading/trailing commas and whitespace before splitting on :



print(list(map(lambda x: x.strip(" ,").split(":"), text.splitlines())))
#[['1', ' frack 0.733, shale 0.700'],
# ['10', ' space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258'],
# ['4', ' celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345']]


The next step is to split on the comma to separate the values, and assign the Id to each set of values:



print(
[
list(map(lambda z: (y[0], *z.strip().split()), y[1].split(","))) for y in
map(lambda x: x.strip(" ,").split(":"), text.splitlines())
]
)
#[[('1', 'frack', '0.733'), ('1', 'shale', '0.700')],
# [('10', 'space', '0.645'),
# ('10', 'station', '0.327'),
# ('10', 'nasa', '0.258')],
# [('4', 'celebr', '0.262'), ('4', 'bahar', '0.345')]]


Finally, we use itertools.chain.from_iterable to flatten this output, which can then be passed straight to the DataFrame constructor.



Note: The * tuple unpacking is a python 3 feature.

    Assuming your data (csv file) looks like given:



    df = pd.read_csv('untitled.txt', sep=': ', header=None)
    df.set_index(0, inplace=True)

    # split the `,`
    df = df[1].str.strip().str.split(',', expand=True)

    # 0 1 2 3
    #-- ------------ ------------- ---------- ---
    # 1 frack 0.733 shale 0.700
    #10 space 0.645 station 0.327 nasa 0.258
    # 4 celebr 0.262 bahar 0.345

    # stack and drop empty
    df = df.stack()
    df = df[~df.eq('')]

    # split ' '
    df = df.str.strip().str.split(' ', expand=True)

    # edit to give final expected output:

    # rename index and columns for reset_index
    df.index.names = ['Id', 'to_drop']
    df.columns = ['Term', 'weight']

    # final df
    final_df = df.reset_index().drop('to_drop', axis=1)

    Just to put my two cents in: you could write yourself a parser and feed the result into pandas:



    import pandas as pd
    from parsimonious.grammar import Grammar
    from parsimonious.nodes import NodeVisitor

    file = """1: frack 0.733, shale 0.700,
    10: space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258,
    4: celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345
    """

    grammar = Grammar(
    r"""
    expr = line+

    line = id colon pair*
    pair = term ws weight sep? ws?

    id = ~"d+"
    colon = ws? ":" ws?
    sep = ws? "," ws?

    term = ~"[a-zA-Z]+"
    weight = ~"d+(?:.d+)?"

    ws = ~"s+"
    """
    )

    tree = grammar.parse(file)

    class PandasVisitor(NodeVisitor):
    def generic_visit(self, node, visited_children):
    return visited_children or node

    def visit_pair(self, node, visited_children):
    term, _, weight, *_ = visited_children
    return (term.text, weight.text)

    def visit_line(self, node, visited_children):
    id, _, pairs = visited_children
    return [(id.text, *pair) for pair in pairs]

    def visit_expr(self, node, visited_children):
    return [item for lst in visited_children for item in lst]

    pv = PandasVisitor()
    result = pv.visit(tree)

    df = pd.DataFrame(result, columns=["Id", "Term", "weight"])
    print(df)


    This yields



     Id Term weight
    0 1 frack 0.733
    1 1 shale 0.700
    2 10 space 0.645
    3 10 station 0.327

      Here is another take for your question. Creating a list which will contain lists for every id and term. And then produce the dataframe.



      import pandas as pd
      file=r"give_your_path".replace('\', '/')
      my_list_of_lists=[]#creating an empty list which will contain lists of [Id Term Weight]
      with open(file,"r+") as f:
      for line in f.readlines():#looping every line
      my_id=[line.split(":")[0]]#storing the Id in order to use it in every term
      for term in [s.strip().split(" ") for s in line[line.find(":")+1:].split(",")[:-1]]:
      my_list_of_lists.append(my_id+term)
      df=pd.DataFrame.from_records(my_list_of_lists)#turning the lists to dataframe
      df.columns=["Id","Term","weight"]#giving columns their names

        It is possible to just use entirely pandas:



        df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(u"""1: frack 0.733, shale 0.700, 
        10: space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258,
        4: celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345 """), sep=":", header=None)

        #df:
        0 1
        0 1 frack 0.733, shale 0.700,
        1 10 space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258,
        2 4 celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345


        Turn the column 1 into a list and then expand:



        df[1] = df[1].str.split(",", expand=False)

        dfs = []
        for idx, rows in df.iterrows():
        print(rows)
        dfslice = pd.DataFrame("Id": [rows[0]]*len(rows[1]), "terms": rows[1])
        dfs.append(dfslice)
        newdf = pd.concat(dfs, ignore_index=True)

        # this creates newdf:
        Id terms
        0 1 frack 0.733
        1 1 shale 0.700
        2 1
        3 10 space 0.645
        4 10 station 0.327
        5 10 nasa 0.258
        6 10
        7 4 celebr 0.262
        8 4 bahar 0.345


        Now we need to str split the last line and drop empties:



        newdf["terms"] = newdf["terms"].str.strip()
        newdf = newdf.join(newdf["terms"].str.split(" ", expand=True))
        newdf.columns = ["Id", "terms", "Term", "Weights"]
        newdf = newdf.drop("terms", axis=1).dropna()


        Resulting newdf:



         Id Term Weights
        0 1 frack 0.733
        1 1 shale 0.700
        3 10 space 0.645
        4 10 station 0.327
        5 10 nasa 0.258
        7 4 celebr 0.262
        8 4 bahar 0.345

          Could I assume that there is just 1 space before 'TERM'?



          df=pd.DataFrame(columns=['ID','Term','Weight'])
          with open('C:/random/d1','r') as readObject:
          for line in readObject:

          tempList1=line.split(':')
          tempList2=tempList1[1]
          tempList2=tempList2.rstrip(',')
          tempList2=tempList2.split(',')
          for item in tempList2:
          e=item.split(' ')
          tempRow=[tempList1[0], e[0],e[1]]

            1) You can read row by row.



            2) Then you can separate by ':' for your index and ',' for the values



            1)



            with open('path/filename.txt','r') as filename:
            content = filename.readlines()


            2)
            content = [x.split(':') for x in content]



            This will give you the following result:



            content =[
            ['1','frack 0.733, shale 0.700,'],
            ['10', 'space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258,'],
            ['4','celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345 ']]

            Here's an optimized way to parse the file with re, first taking the ID and then parsing the data tuples. This takes advantage of the fact that file objects are iterable. When you iterate over an open file, you get the individual lines as strings, from which you can extract the meaningful data elements.



            import re
            import pandas as pd

            SEP_RE = re.compile(r":s+")
            DATA_RE = re.compile(r"(?P<term>[a-z]+)s+(?P<weight>d+.d+)", re.I)


            def parse(filepath: str):
            def _parse(filepath):
            with open(filepath) as f:
            for line in f:
            id, rest = SEP_RE.split(line, maxsplit=1)
            for match in DATA_RE.finditer(rest):
            yield [int(id), match["term"], float(match["weight"])]
            return list(_parse(filepath))


            Example:



            >>> df = pd.DataFrame(parse("/Users/bradsolomon/Downloads/doc.txt"),
            ... columns=["Id", "Term", "weight"])
            >>>
            >>> df
            Id Term weight
            0 1 frack 0.733
            1 1 shale 0.700
            2 10 space 0.645
            3 10 station 0.327
            4 10 nasa 0.258
            5 4 celebr 0.262
            6 4 bahar 0.345

            >>> df.dtypes
            Id int64
            Term object
            weight float64
            dtype: object



            Walkthrough



            SEP_RE looks for an initial separator: a literal : followed by one or more spaces. It uses maxsplit=1 to stop once the first split is found. Granted, this assumes your data is strictly formatted: that the format of your entire dataset consistently follows the example format laid out in your question.



            After that, DATA_RE.finditer() deals with each (term, weight) pair extraxted from rest. The string rest itself will look like frack 0.733, shale 0.700,. .finditer() gives you multiple match objects, where you can use ["key"] notation to access the element from a given named capture group, such as (?P<term>[a-z]+).



            An easy way to visualize this is to use an example line from your file as a string:



            >>> line = "1: frack 0.733, shale 0.700,n"
            >>> SEP_RE.split(line, maxsplit=1)
            ['1', 'frack 0.733, shale 0.700,n']


            Now you have the initial ID and rest of the components, which you can unpack into two identifiers.



            >>> id, rest = SEP_RE.split(line, maxsplit=1)
            >>> it = DATA_RE.finditer(rest)
            >>> match = next(it)
            >>> match
            <re.Match object; span=(0, 11), match='frack 0.733'>
            >>> match["term"]
            'frack'
            >>> match["weight"]
            '0.733'


            The better way to visualize it is with pdb. Give it a try if you dare ;)



            Disclaimer



            This is one of those questions that demands a particular type of solution that may not generalize well if you ease up restrictions on your data format.



            For instance, it assumes that each each Term can only take upper or lowercase ASCII letters, nothing else. If you have other Unicode characters as identifiers, you would want to look into other re characters such as w.

            Explanation



            I assume that you've read your file into the string text. The first thing you want to do is strip leading/trailing commas and whitespace before splitting on :



            print(list(map(lambda x: x.strip(" ,").split(":"), text.splitlines())))
            #[['1', ' frack 0.733, shale 0.700'],
            # ['10', ' space 0.645, station 0.327, nasa 0.258'],
            # ['4', ' celebr 0.262, bahar 0.345']]


            The next step is to split on the comma to separate the values, and assign the Id to each set of values:



            print(
            [
            list(map(lambda z: (y[0], *z.strip().split()), y[1].split(","))) for y in
            map(lambda x: x.strip(" ,").split(":"), text.splitlines())
            ]
            )
            #[[('1', 'frack', '0.733'), ('1', 'shale', '0.700')],
            # [('10', 'space', '0.645'),
            # ('10', 'station', '0.327'),
            # ('10', 'nasa', '0.258')],
            # [('4', 'celebr', '0.262'), ('4', 'bahar', '0.345')]]


            Finally, we use itertools.chain.from_iterable to flatten this output, which can then be passed straight to the DataFrame constructor.

              You can use the DataFrame constructor if you massage your input to the appropriate format. Here is one way:

                    Assuming your data (csv file) looks like given:



                    df = pd.read_csv('untitled.txt', sep=': ', header=None)
                    df.set_index(0, inplace=True)

                    # split the `,`
                    df = df[1].str.strip().str.split(',', expand=True)

                    # 0 1 2 3
                    #-- ------------ ------------- ---------- ---
                    # 1 frack 0.733 shale 0.700
                    #10 space 0.645 station 0.327 nasa 0.258
                    # 4 celebr 0.262 bahar 0.345

                    # stack and drop empty
                    df = df.stack()
                    df = df[~df.eq('')]

                    # split ' '
                    df = df.str.strip().str.split(' ', expand=True)

                    # edit to give final expected output:

                    # rename index and columns for reset_index
                    df.index.names = ['Id', 'to_drop']
                    df.columns = ['Term', 'weight']

                            Here is another take for your question. Creating a list which will contain lists for every id and term. And then produce the dataframe.



                            import pandas as pd
                            file=r"give_your_path".replace('\', '/')
                            my_list_of_lists=[]#creating an empty list which will contain lists of [Id Term Weight]
                            with open(file,"r+") as f:
                            for line in f.readlines():#looping every line
                            my_id=[line.split(":")[0]]#storing the Id in order to use it in every term
                            for term in [s.strip().split(" ") for s in line[line.find(":")+1:].split(",")[:-1]]:
                            my_list_of_lists.append(my_id+term)
                            df=pd.DataFrame.from_records(my_list_of_lists)#turning the lists to dataframe
                            df.columns=["Id","Term","weight"]#giving columns their names

                                                Could I assume that there is just 1 space before 'TERM'?

                                                    1) You can read row by row.



                                                    2) Then you can separate by ':' for your index and ',' for the values



                                                    1)



                                                    with open('path/filename.txt','r') as filename:
                                                    content = filename.readlines()


                                                    2)
                                                    content = [x.split(':') for x in content]



                                                    This will give you the following result:



                                                    content =[
