i need to cut the string in a textfile but each line has a specific way of cutting it (different lengths)
i have a for loop that gets the string line per line, then each line has to be compared:
sample tmp2.txt file that needs to be trim to specific length :
BAC0904102604 -> BAC
AFR0904102604 -> AFR
HHF0904102604 -> HHF
UI100904102907 ->UI10
sdf_ada_9541-9543.1 -> sdf_ada
_fsf13145533 ->fsf
note: the file is in random order.

Reason: added code-tags. Please do that yourself from now on. Thanks
if there are 1 million lines in tht file how you will do the comparison ?...
from where u will get the length of the number of characters to cut ?...
basically there are 18 patterns all in all. (18 specific length)
So what i want to do is to 'for loop' the file to get each lines, and there will be 18 if,elif,else statements.
But i dont know how to exactly cut a string that will be used as condition to the if else statements.
here is my pseudocode:
example of else-if statement (obviously not working, invented)
So far this is the solution that I have in mind. Although it is very inefficient.
p.s i assure you the files will not reach 1 million lines, its only about 20 lines (maximum).
