Thanks for the help so far. The background to the problem is that the lists come from reading a dbf file. The code that I am trying to write is to merge lines of the dbf based on the first column. So in my example there would be three lines: a 2 3 4 b 10 11 12 a 2 3 4
The expected output from the above example lines would be: a 4 6 8 b 10 11 12 ... and the lines are read as: [[a,2,3,4],[b,10,11,12], [a,2,3,4]] In response to not posting working code or actual inputs, ummm, that's why I am asking the question here.
