I am trying to change this list into a dictionary, i have such a list:

['2009-08-31 23:59:35 ', 'RT @brahmresnik: Pastor v Obama: Leading national tracker of hate groups taking close look at Tempe pastor on 12 News at 5. #NOH8\n']

I want to make the date as the first element with the key "date", and the tweet as the second element with they key tweet

i wrote the following code:

Python

with open('newdata.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        tweet=re.sub(r'T\t',"",line)
        t=re.sub(r'W\t',"\/\/",tweet)
        data=t.split("\/\/")
        print(data)
        d = [{'Date': x[0], 'Tweet': x[1]} for x in data]
        print(d)

But the ouput is this:

[{'Date': '2', 'Tweet': '0'}, {'Date': 'b', 'Tweet': 'a'}]

You should print the results after each line of code, to see what is being transformed by your regex and split. Also, if you have some code from StackOverflow that does not work then you should reply to the StackOverflow message.

sorry but i only took one line from StackOverflow, so that does not mean i reply to the StackOverflow message

Well since we do not know what the StackOverflow code does we cannot answer. Did you follow my first suggestion?

Do you want to do something like below:
l = ['2009-08-31 23:59:35 ', 'RT @brahmresnik: Pastor v Obama: Leading national tracker of hate groups taking close look at Tempe pastor on 12 News at 5. #NOH8\n']
d = {}
>>> d[l[0]] = l[1]
>>> d
{'2009-08-31 23:59:35 ': 'RT @brahmresnik: Pastor v Obama: Leading national tracker of hate groups taking close look at Tempe pastor on 12 News at 5. #NOH8\n'}
>>> d['2009-08-31 23:59:35 ']
'RT @brahmresnik: Pastor v Obama: Leading national tracker of hate groups taking close look at Tempe pastor on 12 News at 5. #NOH8\n'
>>>
