Thank you, Mark! My problem is the data isn't consistently ordered. I can use
slicing and indexing to put the year into a tuple, but because a car
manufacturer could have two names (ie, Aston Martin) or a car model could have
two names(ie, Iron Duke), its harder to use slicing and indexing for those two.
I've added the following, but the output is still not what I need it to be.
So the correct answer is "it cannot be done," and an explanation.
Many times I've been given impossible conditions for a problem. And
invariably the correct solution is to press bac on the supplier of the
constraints.
Unless there are some invisible characters in that file, lie tabs in
between the fields, it loocs liec you're out of luc. Or you could
manually edit the file before running the program.
[The character after 'j' is broccen on this cceyboard.]
