Hi all,
I have two lists that contain strings in the form string + number for
example
>>> list1 = [ ' XXX1', 'XXX2', 'XXX3', 'XXX5']
the second list contains strings that are identical to the first list,
so lets say the second list contains the following
>>> list1 = [ ' XXX1', 'XXX2', 'XXX3', 'XXX6']
and now what ive been trying to do is find the first string that is
available,
i.e a string that is in neither of the two lists so the following code
should only print XXX4 then return.
for i in xrange(1,10):
numpart = str(1) + str("%04i" %i)
str = "XXX" + numpart
for list1_elm in list1:
if list1_elm == str:
break
else:
for list2_elm in list2:
if list2_elm == str:
break
else:
print str
return
Cheer
