How to Store Only Non-Empty Strings from a Dictionary into a List Using a For Loop

If you've ever worked with dictionaries in Python, you might find yourself needing to extract specific information while filtering out unnecessary data. A common scenario is dealing with strings where some values may be empty. In this guide, we will explore how to extract only non-empty strings from a dictionary and store them in a list using a for loop.

The Problem

Imagine you have a dictionary that contains various materials, and each material has some details, including a key labeled avis_technique. When extracting these strings, you might encounter many empty strings, which can clutter your results.

Here is an example of such a dictionary and the kind of output you might get while trying to extract the non-empty strings:

Your goal is to filter out the empty entries to achieve a clean list like this:

The Solution

To filter out empty strings, you can utilize a simple if statement within your loop. Let’s break down the process step-by-step.

Step 1: Extracting Data

You first need to loop through your materials and extract the string associated with the avis_technique key:

Step 2: Splitting the String

After extracting the avis_tech, you should split the string based on your delimiter— in this case, a comma followed by a space (, ):

Step 3: Filtering Non-Empty Strings

Now comes the key part! You need to check if each URL in the list is not empty. You can achieve this in two ways:

Method 1: List Comprehension

Using list comprehension, you can create a new list that only contains the non-empty strings:

This method is concise and efficient, filtering the list in one line.

Method 2: Manual Filtering with if

Alternatively, you can initialize an empty list and append only the lists that contain non-empty entries:

In this second method, ensure you correctly check for non-empty strings before appending them to your urls_list.

Conclusion

By using a conditional check within a for loop, you can effectively extract and store only non-empty strings from a dictionary into a list in Python. Whether you employ list comprehension for brevity or a more explicit iteration method, the result is a refined and useful list of URLs.

With this knowledge, you can tackle similar challenges whenever you're working with string data in Python dictionaries. Happy coding!
