Splitting an array into two arrays in Python

nellie456 :

I have a list of numbers like so;

7072624 through 7072631
7072672 through 7072687
7072752 through 7072759
7072768 through 7072783

The below code is what I have so far, i've removed the word "through" and it now prints a list of numbers.

import os

def file_read(fname):
    content_array = []

    with open (fname) as f:
        for line in f:
            content_array.append(line)
        #print(content_array[33])

        #new_content_array = [word for line in content_array[33:175] for word in line.split()]

        new_content_array = [word for line in content_array[33:37] for word in line.split()]
        while 'through' in new_content_array: new_content_array.remove('through')

        print(new_content_array)

file_read('numbersfile.txt')

This gives me the following output.

    ['7072624', '7072631', '7072672', '7072687', '7072752', '7072759', '7072768', '7072783']

So what I'm wanting to do but struggling to find is how to split the 'new_content_array' into two arrays so the output is as follows.

    array1 = [7072624, 7072672, 7072752, 7072768]

    array2 = [7072631, 7072687, 7072759, 7072783]

I then want to be able to take each value in array 2 from the value in array 1

7072631 - 7072624

7072687 - 7072672

7072759 - 7072752

7072783 - 7072768

I've been having a search but can't find anything similar to my situation.

Thanks in advance!

Try this below:

list_data = ['7072624', '7072631', '7072672', '7072687', '7072752', '7072759', '7072768', '7072783']
    array1 = [int(list_data[i]) for i in range(len(list_data)) if i % 2 == 0]
    array2 = [int(list_data[i]) for i in range(len(list_data)) if i % 2 != 0]
