Question

Consider a file, SPORT.DAT, containing records of the following structure:

[SportName, TeamName, No_Players]

Write a function, copyData(), that reads contents from the file SPORT.DAT and copies the records with Sport name as “Basket Ball” to the file named BASKET.DAT. The function should return the total number of records copied to the file BASKET.DAT.

Answer 1

def copyData():
                    fObj = open("SPORT.DAT", "rb")
                    fObj1 = open ("BASKET.DAT", "wb")
                    cnt=0
                    try:
                           while True:
                                 data = pickle.load(fObj)
                                 print (data)
                                 if data[0] == "Basket Ball":
                                         pickle.dump (data, fObj1)
                                         cnt+=1
except:
          fObj.close()
          fObj1.close()
return cnt
