Remove String Quotes From Array In Python

I'm trying to get rid of some characters in my array so I'm just left with the x and y coordinates, separated by a comma as follows: [[316705.77017187304,790526.7469308273] [32173

Solution 1:

Using 31.2. ast — Abstract Syntax Trees¶

importastxll=  [['321731.20991025254,''790958.3493565321,'], ['321731.20991025254,''790958.3493565321,']]
>>> [ast.literal_eval(xl[0]) for xl in xll]
[(321731.20991025254, 790958.3493565321), (321731.20991025254, 790958.3493565321)]

Above gives list of tuples for list of list, type following:

>>> [list(ast.literal_eval(xl[0])) for xl in xll]
[[321731.20991025254, 790958.3493565321], [321731.20991025254, 790958.3493565321]]

OLD: I think this:

>>> sll
[['316705.770172', '790526.746931'], ['321731.20991', '790958.349357']]
>>> fll = [[float(i) for i in l] for l in sll]
>>> fll
[[316705.770172, 790526.746931], [321731.20991, 790958.349357]]
>>> 

old Edit:

>>>xll =  [['321731.20991025254,''790958.3493565321,'], ['321731.20991025254,''790958.3493565321,']]>>>[[float(s) for s in xl[0].split(',') if s.strip() != ''] for xl in xll]
[[321731.20991025254, 790958.3493565321], [321731.20991025254, 790958.3493565321]]
