How to get certain values from a text file in python 3
-2
This is the text file I have:
#EMP_NO, EMP_NAME, AGE, POSITION, SALARY, YRS_EMP
001, Peter Smyth, 26, Developer, 29000, 4
002, Samuel Jones, 23, Developer, 24000, 1
003, Laura Stewart, 41, DevOps, 42000, 15
004, Paul Jones, 24, Analyst, 21000, 2
005, Simon Brown, 52, Developer, 53000, 18
006, George Staples, 42, Tester, 42000, 12
007, Greg Throne, 57, DevOps, 50000, 23
008, Aston Bently, 27, Tester, 33000, 5
009, Ben Evans, 32, DevOps, 38000, 2
010, Emma Samson, 23, DevOps, 22000, 1
011, Stephanie Beggs, 43, Tester, 19000, 9
012, Sarah McQuillin, 47, DevOps, 23000, 5
013, Grace Corrigan, 48, Analyst, 44000, 16
014, Simone Mills, 32, DevOps, 32000, 11
015, Martin Montgomery, 28, Analyst, 28000, 3
I need to get all the salaries and add them together but I can only get the whole line returned, any ideas how to do this in python 3?
python python-3.x file csv
