how to create a program that reads the data from the text file and prints it out in two different sections

Question

I need a program that groups "names" and "birthdates" from a file and then prints them into two different sections as follows:

Name A Masinga Etc. Birthdate 21 July 1988 Etc.

The names should only be the first letter of the name and then display the surname.

here is my code:

name = []
birthdate = []

#open the file
f = open("DOB.txt", "r+")

for line in f:
    parts = line.split()
    name.append(parts[:2])
    birthdate.append(parts[2:])
    
print("Name")
for i, name in enumerate(name):
    print("{}.{}".format(i," ".join(name)))

print("Birthdate")
for i, birthdate in enumerate(birthdate):
    print("{}.{}".format(i," ".join(birthdate)))

Answer 1

Assuming you have a space between the first name and the surname, you can do this for a list of names called names:

for i, name in enumerate(names):
    s_idx = name.find(' ')
    print(f'{i} - {name[0]}. {name[s_idx+1:]}')

Which, for the first element named 'Leon Johnson', would output:

0 - L. Johnson
