I have a newbie question, and I have seen reference to this mentioned in many places, but all just say "this has been discussed frequently in (other places) so we won't discuss it here..." and I am unable to find the actual answer...
I expected : Array = ["topdir", ["/subdir1", ["/file1", "/file2"], "/subdir2", ["/file1", "/file2"], "/subdir3", ["/file1", "/file2"]]] for i in range(len(Array)): print Array[i] for x in range(len(Array[i])): print Array[i][x] for y in range(len(Array[i][x])): print Array[i][x][y] to produce output like this: topdir ['/subdir1', ['/file1', '/file2'], '/subdir2', ['/file1', '/file2'], '/subdir3', ['/file1', '/file2']] /subdir1 ['/file1', '/file2'] /file1 /file2 /subdir2 ['/file1', '/file2'] /file1 /file2 /subdir3 ['/file1', '/file2'] /file1 /file2 but instead, it is iterating through each character in the elements, like this: topdir t t o o p p d d i i r r ['/subdir1', ['/file1', '/file2'], '/subdir2', ['/file1', '/file2'], '/subdir3', ['/file1', '/file2']] /subdir1 / s u b d i r 1 ['/file1', '/file2'] /file1 /file2 /subdir2 / s u b d i r 2 ['/file1', '/file2'] /file1 /file2 /subdir3 / s u b d i r 3 ['/file1', '/file2'] /file1 /file2 so what am I doing wrong? I would really appreciate any advice or pointers... Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
