Re: [Tutor] Finding duplicates entry in file

Thanks for the info. I already adopted a program from another person and it works like a charm. As for your question, I had no idea of if I had duplicate or more as there was some 570 line items. I whittled it down to 370 line entries. Whew. Ken Luke Paireepinart wrote: On Sat, Mar 20

Re: [Tutor] Tutorial executable from python script.

Hello Alan, In fact, I want to be sure the users can run it on every machine in our network. Especially, I want to be able to run it on Solaris 5.8 with python 1.5 (Unix machine). I wanted to know if I could make some custom executable like in C when you want to build a executable with a stat

[Tutor] Finding duplicates entry in file

What is a method I can use to find duplicated entry within a sorted numeric file? I was trying to read a file reading two lines at once but apparently, I can only read one line at a time. Can the same file be opened and read two times within a program? For example, a file has: 1 2 2 3 4 4
