Hello Guys,
I'm looking for some help expanding on a dictionary I've got and storing
multiple values per key and the best way to do it. I'm guessing that I need to
store a list inside the value of the dictionary, but I'm not quite sure how
that can be achieved, and also how to check for values in that list.
Here is a brief example of what I want to be able to build:
Key Value
00:0F:DE:A8:AB:6F
6C66F14B-FED6-D1A4-62EAAD881E9133F0.jpg,01DBB592-F7EB-B000-7F250FD8A2CE158F.gif,533EAE0F-B211-B2D8-4C2DB662CCECFBD7.3gp
00:17:B0:A0:E7:09

00:1B:98:16:21:E4 6C66F14B-FED6-D1A4-62EAAD881E9133F0.jpg
Now I really need to have two functions, one of which appends a value to the
list for a specified key, so I have the key and the new value as strings, I
then want to locate that key and append the list with the new value.
The second function I need, is to check for the existence of a value in the
list of a particular key, again I have the key and the value and I want to do
something like:
if value in list of values for key:
do something here...
The final function that would be helpful to me would to be able to remove a
value from the list for a specific key.
I'm not sure if a list as the value in a dict is possible, or if its the best
way to achieve this, It just made logic sense to me so thought I'd come and get
your thoughts on this. If anyone has any better suggestions about how to attach
mutiple values to a single key, I would love to hear it. Other than that I just
need some code examples of those append/existence functions.
Can anyone offer some help? Thanks guys,
Rob
