I wasn't sure how to even word this, and it's so basic I feel like an idiot. I'm new to any programming and am trying to figure out how to create a text file that has a header task that shows the range of the loop step and then followed by multiple tasks that have the sequential range of the header per task. How do I fit the range of the loop so that each sub task doesn't incrementally go up. Thanks for all help.
Here's my really bad code:
#!/usr/bin/python
list = []
for i, x in enumerate(range(1,15,4)):
test = range(x,max(0,min((x+4),16)))
list.append(test)
foo = """
Task -title{%(start)s:%(end)s}
%(child)s
"""
foo2 = """
Task -title{%(frame)s} -stuff
"""
addTask = ""
addTask2 = ""
for i in list:
first = i[0]
last = i[len(i)-1]
for x in i:
frm = foo2 % {"frame":x}
addTask2+=(frm)
new = foo % {"start":first,"end":last,"child":addTask2}
addTask+=(new)
f = open("/tmp/test.txt","w")
f.write(addTask)
f.close()
And below is what it returns:
Task -title{1:4}
Task -title{1} -stuff
Task -title{2} -stuff
Task -title{3} -stuff
Task -title{4} -stuff
Task -title{5:8}
Task -title{1} -stuff
Task -title{2} -stuff
Task -title{3} -stuff
Task -title{4} -stuff
Task -title{5} -stuff
Task -title{6} -stuff
Task -title{7} -stuff
Task -title{8} -stuff
Task -title{9:12}
Task -title{1} -stuff
Task -title{2} -stuff
Task -title{3} -stuff
Task -title{4} -stuff
Task -title{5} -stuff
Task -title{6} -stuff
Task -title{7} -stuff
Task -title{8} -stuff
Task -title{9} -stuff
Task -title{10} -stuff
Task -title{11} -stuff
Task -title{12} -stuff
Task -title{13:15}
Task -title{1} -stuff
Task -title{2} -stuff
Task -title{3} -stuff
Task -title{4} -stuff
Task -title{5} -stuff
Task -title{6} -stuff
Task -title{7} -stuff
Task -title{8} -stuff
Task -title{9} -stuff
Task -title{10} -stuff
Task -title{11} -stuff
Task -title{12} -stuff
Task -title{13} -stuff
Task -title{14} -stuff
Task -title{15} -stuff
