I have two files (right now they are spreadsheets but I can export them to any format).
File1 has StoreID (unique) in one column and a pdf map location in the second column. (Names not really sequenced numerically) 1 C:/maps/map1.pdf 2 C:/maps/map2.pdf 3 C:/maps/map3.pdf 4 C:/maps/map4.pdf File2 has 3 columns. Column1 is the County name (unique), Column2 are the store IDs that fall in that county separated by commas, and Column3 is warehouse that services the store. County1 1,2 Warehouse1 County2 1,3 Warehouse1 County3 3 Warehouse4 County4 2,4 Warehouse3 Is it possible to compare both files and append the maps that belong in each county and naming it by the county_warehouse.pdf? Output would be something like this: C:\maps\final\County1_Warehouse1.pdf (pdf file is map1.pdf and map2.pdf) C:\maps\final\County2_Warehouse1.pdf (pdf file is map1.pdf and map3.pdf) C:\maps\final\County3_Warehouse4.pdf (pdf file is map3.pdf) C:\maps\final\County4_Warehouse1.pdf (pdf file is map2.pdf and map4.pdf) I could spend some time reorganizing the second file to look like this if it makes it easier: County1 1 Warehouse1 County1 2 Warehouse1 County2 1 Warehouse1 County2 3 Warehouse1 County3 3 Warehouse4 County4 2 Warehouse3 County4 4 Warehouse3 Ideas as to how to accomplish this? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
