hi everybody, I have a file: A_16_P21360207 304 A_14_P136880 783 A_16_P21360209 795 A_16_P21360210 173 A_16_P03641959 1177 A_16_P03641960 1944 A_16_P03641962 999 A_16_P03641963 3391 A_16_P41563649 3626 A_16_P03641964 180 A_16_P41563655 1216 A_16_P03641965 1170 A_16_P03641966 194 A_16_P21360229 290 my script: import math values_lis = [] fh = open('test5','r') for line in fh.readlines(): data = line.strip().split('\t') probe = data[0].strip() values= data[1].strip() value = values[0].strip() value =float(values) old = 0 if value >=old: old = value print '%s\t%s'%(probe,old) I am aiming to remove the lowest values in the second column by iterating one over the other....say for example 304 , is lesser than the
second row value 783 so i omit the first column first value.. in the same case in the third row 795 is greater the 783 so i omit the 783the second row... this to be carried out for attaining my destination... i have written the sript but it doesnot not remove the lesser values...can you please chek where i go wrong...
