Question on List
 

Dear All,
I am trying to write the following code:

def try1(n):
a1="God Godess Borother Sister Family"
a2=a1.split()
a3=raw_input("PRINT A WORD")
a4=a1.find(a3)
print a4
a5=[]
if a4>0:
a5=a2.index(a3)
a6=a5+1
a7=a2[a6]
print "The new word is"
print a7
a8=a5.append(a7)
print a5
elif a4<0:
a11=a3
print "The word is not availiable in String"
print a11
a6=a5.append(a11)
print a5
else:
print "Error"


Now, my question is I like to see a5 or the empty list as appended
with elements. Results I am getting is a5 giving single value like
['God'],['Godess']... but I like to see it as ['God','Godess'...] etc.
Am I going wrong?
Do I have to rethink it in some other way?
If any one can kindly let me know.
Best Regards,
Subhabrata.

Re: Question on List
 

I would do something like this. Note that in your original code, the first word, "God", would never be found because you don't allow for a4==0.

a1="God Godess Borother Sister Family DemiGod" 

a1_list=a1.lower().split() 

a5=[]

input_word=raw_input("PRINT A WORD ") 

for each_word in a1_list:

   if input_word in each_word:

      a5.append(each_word)

print a5

May be you should be looking for something like this

from string     import split, lower

import os, string



strOriginal = "God Godess Brother Sister Family"

strFinal = []



strTofind = raw_input("Enter a word ot search")



for token in split(strOriginal, " "):

    if string.find(lower(token), strTofind) != -1:

        strFinal.append(token)



print "The final string"

print strFinal



##my output

##The final string

##['God', 'Godess']

NOTE: Use code tags always [code=python] <place your code here> [code]
