Hello

I am trying to find if there is a string OR list function that will
search a list of strings for all the strings that start with 'a' &
return a new list containing all the strings that started with 'a'.

I have had a search of Python site & I could not find what I am
looking for, does a function like this exist?

 >>> sw = lambda s: lambda t: t.startswith(s)

>>> list = ["a string","another one","this is a string","and so is this one"]

 >>> filter(sw("a"),list)
['a string', 'another one', 'and so is this one']
 >>>

bye

of course there is a simpler way:

>>> [string for string in list if string.startswith("a")]
['a string', 'another one', 'and so is this one']
>>>

bye
