I am using this function to parse data I have stored in an array. This is what the array looks like:
[['Memory', '0', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '0', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '0', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '0', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '0', 'Slot', 'DIMM0/J11'], ['Memory', '0', 'ConfigurationType', '2'], ['Memory', '1', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '1', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '1', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '1', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '1', 'Slot', 'DIMM1/J12'], ['Memory', '1', 'ConfigurationType', '2'], ['Memory', '2', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '2', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '2', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '2', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '2', 'Slot', 'DIMM2/J13'], ['Memory', '2', 'ConfigurationType', '2'], ['Memory', '3', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '3', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '3', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '3', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '3', 'Slot', 'DIMM3/J14'], ['Memory', '3', 'ConfigurationType', '2']] This is the code to parse the array: count=0 place=0 query=[] while 1: try: i=fetch.next() except StopIteration: break if i[1] != count: ++count query.append(count) qval=`query[count]` query[count]=qval+i[2]+"="+i[3]+", " print qval,"\n" When it runs I get an output similar to this. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Type=DDR SDRAM, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Size=512, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Slot=DIMM2/J13, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ConfigurationType=2, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Summary=0, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Speed=PC3200U-30330, \\\\\\\'Type=DDR SDRAM, \\\'Size=512, \'Slot=DIMM3/J14, ' When it's supposed to print just the plain text with the numbers etc. I have changed these lines: qval=`query[count]` query[count]=qval+i[2]+"="+i[3]+", " To this: query[count]=query[count]+i[2]+"="+i[3]+", " I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "infnode.py", line 60, in ? query[count]=query[count]+i[2]+"="+i[3]+", "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' So I try and fix it by doing this: query[count]=`query[count]`+i[2]+"="+i[3]+", " Can someone please point me in the right direction I am sure that the `query[count]` is causing the backslashes.
