Hi Kumar,
I've been studiously avoiding re, and I think you can too for this problem -
>I want to remove Name=Xxxx_at identifiers.
>My List:
>['Name=32972_at',
>'Cell1=432\t118\tN\tcontrol\t32972_at\t0\t13\tA\tA\tA\t0\t75952\t-1\t-1\t99\t',
>'Cell2=432\t117\tN\tcontrol\t32972_at\t0\t13\tA\tT\tA\t0\t75312\t-1\t-1\t99\t',
>'Cell3=499\t632\tN\tcontrol\t32972_at\t1\t13\tC\tC\tC\t1\t404979\t-1\t-1\t99\t']
so -
hasName=[]
for indexNum in range(len(myList):
if "Name=" in myList[indexNum]:
hasName.append(indexNum)
hasName.reverse()
for element in hasName:
del myList(element)
Might be able to do it
hasName=[]
for indexNum in myList.index(): #???
if "Name=" in indexNum:
hasName.append(indexNum)
hasName.reverse()
for element in hasName:
del myList(element)
But, you need a list of the index numbers of the list members to be
deleted, and then you need to reverse it... why?
aList=['b','c','d']
indexes=[0,1,2]
for element in indexes:
del aList[element]
Watch what happens as it runs.
element=0
del aList[0]
aList=['c','d']
element = 1
del aList[1]
aList=['c']
element = 2
del aList[2]
IndexError - value out of range.
Whereas -
aList=['b','c','d']
indexes=[0,1,2]
indexes.reverse()
for element in indexes:
del aList[element]
element=2
del aList[2]
aList=['b','c']
element = 1
del aList[1]
aList=['b']
element=0
del aList[0]
aList=[]

And with it comes the only basic human duty, to take the consequences.
