yadin, understanding what you want is probably 10 times harder than writing down the code :-)
> I have a a table, from where I can extract a column. You can extract it? Or do you want to extract it? Or do you want to process it? Etc. > I wanna go down trough that column made of numbers > examine undetermined chunks of data and see or detect if that sequence > of chunk > of data has been repeated before What do you mean by "undetermined"? What kind of data? Where is this data? How is this "chunk" shaped? Are you talking about a string? > and if it has been repeated detect it by giving it a name in an > adjacent column. What kind of name? So you just need 2 names, like N and S for New and Seen? You can use a built-in set data structure to know if you have already seen some data, while you scan the records. > Imagine someting like this but made of 1800 numbers... How are such 1800 disposed? Do you mean 1800 columns of 32 bit numbers? > how can I build up column 3(category)< What does A, B and C mean? Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
