So that is where I am stuck. I don't how to compare them and I am trying to avoiding saving the data to a file. This is the code that I have: if msg.arg2() != ERROR: entry = (A, B, C, D, E, F) self.data.append(entry) data = self.data # Display how many runs occurred self.statusBar().showMessage('Data read. %s Run(s) Occurred.' % self.runCount) # Populates table by adding only new entries to the end of the table lastRow = self.table.rowCount() self.table.setRowCount(len(data)) for entryPos in range(lastRow, len(data)): for fieldPos in range(6): item = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(str(data[entryPos][fieldPos])) self.table.setItem(entryPos, fieldPos, item) self.table.resizeColumnsToContents() self.table.horizontalHeader().setStretchLastSection(True) self.currentRunLabel.setText('Current Run: ' + str(self.runCount)) self.currentLineLabel.setText('Number of lines: ' + str(len(self.data))) print('End of %s. run: %s. entries found' % (self.runCount, len(self.data))) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
