OK Duh..
After thinking about it for a bit longer i simplified it but still have
the same problem..
e =[]
hosts = [ "poundcake.fpdn.com", "scorpion.fpdn.com", "loghost",
"scorpian", "localhost", "lan" ]
ignore = [ "localhost", "loghost", "timehost", "mailhost" ]
for host in hosts:
sn = re.split( "\.", host)
if not sn[0] in ignore:
e.append(host)
ignore.append(sn[0])
print e
But this STILL gives me some problems..
['poundcake.nsc.com', 'scorpion.fqdn.com', 'scorpian', 'lan']
Nope - OK I am an idiot - try spelling idiot..
Thanks
