back again,
yes that is the idea:
"> If I venture a guess, it seems to me that you want the debits and
corresponding offsetting credits listed in sequence."
but not sure if i get you pseudo code , you mean
some how flag the line when is D or C ( credit of debit )
and then sort by what ?
When you sort a list of tuple pairs, it sort on the first item, so
set sortkey to value+flag
means the first tuple in the list of tuples to sort should end up with
as value+flag, where the flag is set based on the non-zero value in your
line.
For example,
XXXs,Dval,Cval = line.split("|")
then, assuming a consistent valid file structure,
if int(Dval): key="D"+Dval
else: key="C"+Cval
then, append (key,line) to your decorated list for each line, and
finally sort and print the lines from your decorated list.

hello , i have a file this a structure like this
XXXXXXXXX XXXX| 0000000000000.00| 0000000088115.39|
XXXXXXXXX XXXX| 0000000090453.29| 0000000000000.00|
<snip>
In pseudo-code, that might me done as:
read lines from file
for each line in lines
set flag to D or C based on values
set sortkey to value+flag
append sortkey and line to decorated list
sort decorated list
for key,line in decorated list
print line
