如何知道文件指针的位置,以便识别文件中的起始位置

我正在处理超过6MM行的股票代码数据。我想获取符号的所有数据,进行我需要的处理,然后输出结果。

我编写的代码告诉我每个自动收报机的起始行(请参阅下面的代码)。我想如果我知道新符号的起始位置(而不是行号)会更有效,所以我可以使用搜索(#)轻松跳转到自动收报机的起始位置。我也很好奇如何扩展这个逻辑来读取一个自动收录器的整个数据块(start_position到end_position)。

import csv
data_line       = 0 # holds the file line number for the symbol
ticker_start        = 0
ticker_end          = 0
cur_sec_ticker  = ""
ticker_dl   = [] # array for holding the line number in the source file for the start of each ticker
reader = csv.reader(open('C:\\temp\sample_data.csv', 'rb'), delimiter=',')
for row in reader:
    if cur_sec_ticker != row[1]:   # only process a new ticker
        ticker_fr = str(data_line) + ',' + row[1] # prep line for inserting into array

        # desired line for inserting into array, ticker_end would be the last 
        # of the current ticker data block, which is the start of the next ticker
        # block (ticker_start - 1)
        #ticker_fr = str(ticker_start) + str(ticker_end) + str(data_line) + ',' + row[1] 

        print ticker_fr
        ticker_dl.append(ticker_fr)
        cur_sec_ticker  = row[1]
    data_line += 1
print ticker_dl

通常,您可以使用tell方法获取文件对象的当前位置。但是,可能很难使用当前代码将文件读取委托给csv模块。在逐行阅读时甚至很难做到这一点,因为底层文件对象可能会以更大的块读取而不是单行(readlinereadlines方法在后台执行一些缓存来隐藏这个来自你。)

虽然我会跳过读取特定字节的整个想法,但如果它对你的程序来说真的很值得,你可能需要自己负责读取文件,这样你就可以准确地跟踪你所在的文件。始终存档。可能没有必要tell

这样的东西可能会读取一大块数据,然后将其拆分为行和值,同时跟踪到目前为止已读取的字节数:

def generate_values(f):
    buf = "" # a buffer of data read from the file
    pos = 0  # the position of our buffer within the file

    while True: # loop until we return at the end of the file
        new_data = f.read(4096) # read up to 4k bytes at a time

        if not new_data: # quit if we got nothing
            if buf:
                yield pos, buf.split(",") # handle any data after last newline
            return

        buf += new_data
        line_start = 0 # index into buf

        try:
            while True: # loop until an exception is raised at end of buf
                line_end = buf.index("\n", line_start) # find end of line
                line = buf[line_start:line_end] # excludes the newline

                if line: # skips blank lines
                    yield pos+line_start, line.split(",") # yield pos,data tuple

                line_start = line_end+1
        except ValueError: # raised by `index()`
            pass

        pos += line_end + 1
        buf = buf[line_end + 1:] # keep left over data from end of the buffer

如果您的文件的行结尾不是\n,则可能需要稍微调整一下,但这不应该太难。
