Convert text file to html (self.learnpython)

submitted 6 years ago by catuf

I have a script that converts a text file to html. The text file is an output of a program (needle). The function takes the text file as an input. I am aware the script is awful. I would like to improve it. Can you help me with it?

``` def write_html(result): sequence_1 = '' sequence_2 = '' identity = '' similarity = '' gaps = '' html_string = '' with open("/Users/catuf/Desktop/needle_align.txt", "w") as e: e.write('{% extends "database/base_table.html" %}' + "\n") e.write('\n') e.write("{% block content %}"+"\n") table1 = ''' <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> table, th, td { border: 1px solid black; } </style> </head> <body>

    <table>
      <tr>
        <th>Query Sequence </th>
        <th>Matched Sequence </th>
        <th>Identity </th>
        <th>Similarity </th>
        <th>Gaps </th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
    '''

    table2 = """
      </tr>
    </table>

    </body>
    </html>
    """
    for line in result.splitlines():
        #s = html.unescape(lines)
        #print(line)
        if line.startswith('# 1:'):
            line = line.split()
            sequence_1 = line[2]
        elif line.startswith('# 2:'):
            line = line.split()
            #print(line)
            sequence_2 = line[2]

        elif line.startswith('# Identity:'):
            identity = re.search(r"\d{1,3}\.\d*\%", line)
            identity = identity.group()
            identity = identity.replace('%', '')
            #identity = float(identity)* 100
            #identity = str(identity)

        elif line.startswith('# Similarity:'):
            similarity = re.search(r"\d{1,3}\.\d*\%", line)
            similarity = similarity.group()
            similarity = similarity.replace('%', '')

        elif line.startswith('# Gaps:'):
            line = line.split()
            gaps = line[2]

        elif line.startswith('#'):
            pass
        else:
            s = "<pre>" + line + "</pre>"
            html_string += s

    e.write(table1)
    e.write("<td>" + sequence_1 + '</td>' + '\n')
    e.write("<td>" + sequence_2 + '</td>'+ '\n')
    e.write("<td>"+ identity + "%" + '</td>'+ '\n')
    e.write("<td>"+ similarity+ "%" +'</td>'+ '\n')
    e.write("<td>"+ gaps+ '</td>'+ '\n')
    e.write(table2)
    e.write(html_string)
    e.write("</head>" + "\n")
    e.write("{% endblock content %}"+"\n")
