Hello guys, I made a script that extracts strings from a binary file. It works.
My next problem is sorting those strings. Output is like: ---- snip ---- 200501221530 John *** long string here *** 200504151625 Clyde *** clyde's long string here *** 200503130935 Jeremy *** jeremy string here **** ---- snip ---- How can I go about sorting this list based on the date string that marks the start of each message? Should I be using lists, dictionaries or tuples? What should I look into? Is there a way to generate variables in a loop? Like: x=0 while (x<10): # assign variable-x = [...list...] x = x+1 Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
