Hello again!
Thank you everyone for all the help.
Congratulations on getting this working!
I can see where any of the chains appear more than once, which is good and I am looking for situations like first example where ENST00000339563.1 is the first and third on the list or the fifth example. Next step is to cut out the ENST lines that only show up once and wind up with just the places where there are matches at least twice to a given transcript (using the ENST00000...) ids. Like in the final example I only want the first and third so I know it is twice in that transcript.
See the tutor thread "Unique items in lists" if you need help with this step, we just had an extensive discussion of how to do it.
