在列表中查找以指定用户开头的项

Question

我正在尝试做一个程序，其中我已经有一个列表，正在从一个.txt文件中读取，现在我需要做它，以便当我给Python我的“期望的字母”时，它将把我所有以该字母开头的项目放入另一个列表中。在

提前谢谢

countrypopList = open("E:\\SCRIPTING\\Countries.txt").readlines() #This is     making "countrypopList" contain everthing on the txt.
countrypopList.sort() #This is sorting the list alphabetically.
useriList = []
countries = []
population = []
userI = input("Please input a single letter: ") #Ask user to input a single     letter.

if userI.isalpha():
    if len(userI) > 1:
        print("Please enter only a single letter.") #If user input length is     over 1, display this message.

    else: #If there are no complications and the user inputs a single letter     as required, the program continues.
        #print("continue")
        for line in countrypopList:
            if (line.startswith(userI)):
                useriList.append(line)

    print(useriList)            
else:
    print("Please make sure that you enter a single letter.") #If user     inputs anything other than a letter with a length of 1, display this message.

这是我最初的想法，但它没有起作用，我不知道该怎么做。。在

您可以使用列表理解来执行以下操作：

text = open('data.txt').read()
user_letter = raw_input('Please enter one letter: ')
starts_with = [word for word in text.split() if word.startswith(user_letter)]
