Solution for https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70860810/turn-a-multiple-line-of-txt-file-into-a-dictionary/70860877

file.py

with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
    lines = file.read().split('\n') # lines is a list of the lines of the file
dictionary: dict = {}
for index, line in enumerate(lines):
    line = line.split(' ')
    dictionary[str(index)] = {
        "white": line[0],
        "black": line[1],
        "white score": line[2],
        "black score": line[4]
    }
print(dictionary)

file.txt

fischer morphy 1 - 0
carlsen alekhine 0 - 1
kasparov capablanca 1/2 - 1/2

Yes, that's because I've organized the dictionary in a different way. Let me explain:

{
    "1": {
        "white": "Jack",
        "black": "Mary",
        "white score": "1",
        "black score": "0"
    }
    "2": {
        // Some other stuff
    }
}

So, if you want to access the score, you have to do this way:

for item in matches.keys(): # matches is the big dictionary
   if matches[item]["white score"] and matches[item]["black score"] == "1/2":
       # Do your stuff

been answered

for items in dictionary.values():
    if items["white score"] and items["black score"] == "1/2":
        print("game between white player,", items["white"], "and black player,", items["black"], "ended up in draw")

Yes, does it work?

it works
