I create a list of logs called LogList. Here is a sample: LogList = ["inbound tcp office 192.168.0.125 inside 10.1.0.91 88", "inbound tcp office 192.168.0.220 inside 10.1.0.31 2967", "inbound udp lab 172.24.0.110 inside 10.1.0.6 161", "inbound udp office 192.168.0.220 inside 10.1.0.13 53"]
I want to sort the list on index 3 of each string - the first IP Address. I only need strings with similar, first IP's to be together. I don't need all of the IP's to be in order. For example: either: SortedList = ["inbound udp lab 172.24.0.110 inside 10.1.0.6 161", "inbound tcp office 192.168.0.220 inside 10.1.0.31 2967", "inbound udp office 192.168.0.220 inside 10.1.0.13 53", "inbound tcp office 192.168.0.125 inside 10.1.0.91 88"] -or- SortedList = ["inbound tcp office 192.168.0.220 inside 10.1.0.31 2967", "inbound udp office 192.168.0.220 inside 10.1.0.13 53", "inbound udp lab 172.24.0.110 inside 10.1.0.6 161", "inbound tcp office 192.168.0.125 inside 10.1.0.91 88"] -or- etc. would be fine. I'm reading a lot on sort, sorted, cmp, etc. but I'm just not getting how to use an element of a string as a "key" within a list of strings. I'm using Python 2.6.2.
