I'm reading from a database a column that has a list of codes (comma
seperated). When I read in the list I have a single value, see code sample
below values for a, b, and c. These represent possible values in my
database. I need to loop through each value so I can expand my data from
this compressed view.
My code below works and creates my desired output but I believe there must
be a better way this is very messy. My messy function that I'd like to
replace is lst_codes(codes ). Any alternative suggestions?
this is what I begin with
a = ',P,'
b = ',I,G,AQ,ET,K,B F,'
c = ',DZ,'
this is what I want (lists or tuples are fine)
['P']
['I', 'G', 'AQ', 'ET', 'K', 'BF']
['DZ']
def lst_codes(codes ):
""" turn a string of comma seperated codes into a real list object """
i = 0
lstD = []
while i < len(codes):
a = codes[i]
b = ","
if (i + 1) < len(codes):
b = codes[i + 1]
i = i + 1
else:
b = ","
if b <",":
lstD.append(a + b)
i = i + 2
else:
lstD.append(a)
i = i + 1
return lstD
a = ',P,'
b = ',I,G,AQ,ET,K,B F,'
c = ',DZ,'
for ea in (a,b,c):
print lst_codes(ea.st rip(",")) 2 1285

Why not just use:

Arrgh. One of those days where I find an answer just after posting. I spend
hours on the code below only to find I don't know how to use split to it's
fullest.

hi,
i have a string as follows
18Nov2003:18:23:43:405
Is there an easy way to convert that to absolute time? What i really
want to do is to parse these times from a log file and do time
comparisons, averages, stop minus start (elapsed).

function to convert string to 1 dimensional array of long in VB.Net

last post by:
Hello, I have an unsigned long that I need to convert to a std::string.
The unsigned long holds 32-bit checksums and sometimes the most
significant byte is 0 and in those cases the string should be zero
padded (it should always contain 8 chars) and it should display its
value in hex form without 0x in the beginning. So if the unsigned long
holds the value 0xa87d7d4 the string should contain "0a87d7d4".
I tried a combination of iomanip and...

Hello,
I'd like to split a string by commas, but only at the "top level" so
to speak. An element can be a comma-less substring, or a
quoted string, or a substring which looks like a function call.
If some element contains commas, I don't want to split it.
Examples:
'foo, bar, baz' ='foo' 'bar' 'baz'

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
