Hello coder, when I try to parse the data of 1998, there's an error, the func "def get_patents_list" will return a null list, if I change the code to this:
def get_patents_list(patents_txt_data):
patents_data = []
current_patent = []
for line in patents_txt_data[1:]:
cleaned_line = ' '.join(line.split())
if cleaned_line.startswith('PATN'):
if current_patent:
patents_data.append(current_patent)
current_patent = []
current_patent.append(cleaned_line)
else:
current_patent.append(cleaned_line)
if current_patent:
patents_data.append(current_patent)
for i in range(len(patents_data)):
patent = patents_data[i]
patents_data[i] = [[word for word in line.split() if word] for line in patent]
return patents_data
Then It works.
However, it only fits 1998, when I try to use the new func to parse 1999, it didn't.
I guess you must didn't test all the years, so can you help me to solve this problem and make the code more strong? Thank you a lot.
