Dear all Sorry , I confused between two things , what i said in the last e-mail i already managed to do using C code , But what i need to do using python is : my input data :
0 2 3 4 1 2 4 2 3 3 4 what i suppose to do is , using the first line and start searching number by number ,first i have 0 search in the rest of lines if there is 0 print out the all numbers except 0 , after that , start searching using the 2ed element in the first line which is 2 , in the 2ed line we have 1 , 4 . in the 3rd line we have 3 , in the 4th line we do not have 2. And so on for 3 and 4 , and also for the 2nd , 3rd lines , so the output should be 0 2 1 4 3 3 2 4 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 3 2 3 3 4 And i managed to do this , but i did in the case of no space between numbers,when i am reading from file , like 0234 124 23 34 I want my code be able to deal with the space between numbers , and this is my code again def belong_to(x,a): c=-1 for i in range(len(a)-1): if x==int(a[i]): c=i return c def list_belong(x,a): # This function to check if this line c=-1 # line has been searched before or not for i in range(len(a)): if a[i]==x: c=1 break return c x=0 occur=[] in_file=open('data.dat','r') out_file=open('result.dat','w') fileList = in_file.readlines() for k in fileList: v=k occur.append(k) n=len(v)-1 for i in range(n): temp=int(v[i]) print temp, out_file.write(str(temp)) for line in fileList: if v!=line: if list_belong(line,occur)!=1: if belong_to(temp,line) != -1: j=belong_to(temp,line) for i in range(len(line)-1): if i!=j: print line[i], out_file.write(line[i]) print out_file.write("\n") out_file.close() in_file.close() Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
