OK, here is some example data:
reaction is BUT by the
sodium , BUT it is
sea , BUT it is
this manner BUT the dissolved
pattern , BUT it is
rapid , BUT it is
As each line consists of 5 words, I would break up the data into an array
of five-field-arrays (Would you use lists or tuples or a combination in
Python?). The word "BUT" would be in the middle, with two fields/words
left and two fields/words right of it. I then want to sort this list by
- field 3
- field 4
- field 1
- field 0
in this hierarchy. This is the desired result:
pattern , BUT it is
rapid , BUT it is
sea , BUT it is
sodium , BUT it is
reaction is BUT by the
this manner BUT the dissolved
The first 4 lines all could not be sorted by fields 3 & 4, as they are
identical ("it", "is"), so they have been sorted first by field 1 (which
is also identical: ",") and then by field 0:
pattern
rapid
sea
sodium
I hope I have explained this in an understandable way. It would be cool
if you could show me how this can be done in Python!
