Hi! There goes a newbie trouble:
for i in range(0, len(subject)):
if subject[i] in preps:
psubject.append (noun_syn_parse r(subject[0:i]))
subject[0:i] = []
Since the last line eliminates some elements of the list, I'm wondering
if it's somehow possible to change the value of "i" to 0 in order not to
get an index error. Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance. 9 7090
i = 0
while i < len(subject):
if subject[i] in preps:
psubject.append (noun_syn_parse r(subject[0:i]))
subject[0:i] = []
i = 0
else:
i += 1

Uh! I've not even thought in using a while... Thanks!

Messing with the list/index concerned within the loop itself is rarely a
good idea and can most often be avoided:
lastFound = 0
for i in range(0, len(subject)):
if subject[i] in preps:
psubject.append (noun_syn_parse r(subject[lastFound:i]))
lastFound = i #you probably want i+1 here? your source says i,
however
#if having the subject list matters, you can finish it all outside the
loop with
subject[0:lastFound] = []

Perhaps (untested!):
start = 0
for i, subj in enumerate(subje ct):
if subj in preps:
psubject.append (noun_syn_parse r(subject[start:i]))
start = i
subject = subject[start:] # optional if you don't need the leftovers

Mitja's last line (I didn't see his post -- forwarding delays I presume)
subject[0:lastFound] = []
would not rebind, so that better reflects the OP's subject[0:i] = [] line.
Perhaps the enumerate was useful ;-/

Hi! I almost got it but your code is much more simple (and works). I
hadn't thought in using enumerate.
You see I'm a completely newbie.
Thanks a lot, Bengt!

I going to guess that you probably want something more like below.
The routine you have because of the deletions, the index and the
subjects list get way out of sync, which is why you get the index
error on 'subject[i]'.
Try this which uses no indexes, it should be closer to what you want.
for subj in subjects:
sub2.append(sub j)
if subj in preps:
psubject.append (noun_sys_parse r(subj2))
subj2 = []

Correcting a type and an omission:
subj2 = []
for subj in subjects:
subj2.append(su bj)
if subj in preps:
psubject.append (noun_sys_parse r(subj2))
subj2 = []

You got a lot of good responses to this, but it is a fault of mine that I
always want people to understand WHY their proposals won't work.
You CAN, in fact, change "i" within the loop, and your changed value will
survive until the next iteration. So, this prints 5 copies of 17:
for i in range(5):
i = 17
print i
However, a "for" loop in Python is quite different from a "for" loop in C
or Basic. In those languages, the end of a loop is determined by some
Boolean comparison, so changing the index alters the comparison.
In the case of Python, the "for" statement just iterates through a set of
values. "range(5)" is just a normal function that creates the list
[0,1,2,3,4]. The "for" statement keeps running the loop until it runs out
of values in that list or tuple.
So, you CAN change the value of i, but it won't change the operation of the
loop.

Hi all,
In my VB.NET code below, I try to change the user name in my arraylist from
Ted to Bob, but instead it adds a new user to the arraylist named Bob. Can
anyone explain why this happens and how I might modify a structure in an
arraylist without having to completely remove it and re-add the structure to
the arraylist? I just want to iterate throught the arraylist and change
items based on certain conditions.
Thanks in advance!
