Create Pandas DataFrame from txt file with specific pattern

Question

I need to create a Pandas DataFrame based on a text file based on the following structure:

Alabama[edit]
Auburn (Aubu         


        

Answer 1

You will probably need to perform some additional manipulation on the file before getting it into a dataframe.

A starting point would be to split the file into lines, search for the string [edit] in each line, put the string name as the key of a dictionary when it is there...

I do not think that Pandas has any built in methods that would handle a file in this format.
