Dear group, 

 I have two tables:

First table: spot_cor:
432     117     
499     631     
10      0       
326     83      
62      197     
0       0       
37      551     



Second table: spot_int
0       0       98      
1       0       5470    
2       0       113     
3       0       5240    
4       0       82.5    
5       0       92      
6       0       5012    
7       0       111     
8       0       4612    
9       0       115     
10      0       4676.5  



I stored these two tables as lists:

>>> spot_cor[0:5]
['432\t117', '499\t631', 10\t0', '326\t83', '62\t197']

>>> spot_int[0:5]
['  0\t  0\t18.9', '  1\t  0\t649.4', '  10\t 
0\t37.3', '  3\t  0\t901.6', '  4\t  0\t14.9']


I want to take each element from spot_cor and search
in spot_int, if they match, I want to write
all the three columns of spot_int. 



I did the following way to see what happens when I
print element1 and element 2 as tab delim. text:

code:
>>> for ele1 in spot_cor:
        for ele2 in spot_int:
                if ele1 in ele2:
                        print (ele1+'\t'+ele2)

                        
432     117     432     117     17.3
432     117       7     432     117.9
432     117     554     432     117.7
499     631     499     631     23.1
12      185      12     185     19.6
12      185     112     185     42.6
12      185     212     185     26.3
12      185     312     185     111.9
12      185     412     185     193.1
12      185     512     185     21.9
12      185     612     185     22.0
326     83      169     326     83.7
62      197      62     197     18.9


The problem with this script is that it is printing
all unwanted element of spot_int list.  This is simply
crap for me. I want to print the columns only if first
two columns of both tables match.  

The simple reason here I asked it to see if 12 and 185
are contained in two columns and pythons tells me, yes
they are present in 112 and 185 and this is a wrong
result. 

Can you please suggest a better method for comparing
these two elements and then printing the third column.
 

thank you very much. 


Cheers
K
