Hey there, having a bit of problem iterating through lists before i go on any further, here is a snip of the script. -- d = "a1 b1 c1 d1 e1 a2 b2 c2 d2 e2 a3 b3 c3 d3 e3 a4 b4 c4 d4 e4 a5 b5 c5 d5 e5" inLst = d.split() hitLst = []
hitNum = 0 stopCnt = 6 + hitNum for i in range(hitNum,len(inLst), 1): if i == stopCnt: break hitLst.append(inLst[i]) print hitLst -- $ python helper.py ['a1', 'b1', 'c1', 'd1', 'e1', 'a2'] This works fine for my purposes, what I need is an outer loop that goes through the original list again and appends my next request. ie. hitNum = 5 which will return: ['a2', 'b2', 'c2', 'd2', 'e2', 'a3'] and append it to the previous one. ie: ['a1', 'b1', 'c1', 'd1', 'e1', 'a2'] ['a2', 'b2', 'c2', 'd2', 'e2', 'a3'] not really sure how to do this right now though, been trying several methods with no good results. btw, just creating lagged values (sort of shift registers) on the incoming signal Many thanks, Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
