<br>Hi<br><br>pls redefine ur problem.<br>I donot understand what u wanted to accomplish .<br>is it that u wanted to check and represent the redundant entry numbers as one entry or is it<br> with the isoform id as a single entry and without considering other data like start  and stop ? 

<br><br>also observe that when u consider the whole line in the data file, they are all unique - there is no redundancy.<br><br>KM<br>-----------------------------------------------------------<br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi everybody ,       I am a beginner in python,          I have to fetch the redundant entries from a file,                           code: import re L = [] fh = open('ARCHITECTURE_MAIN.txt',

<div>'r')

<br>for line in fh.readlines():<br>        data =line.strip()<br>#       splitted = data.split('#')<br>        L.append(data)<br>fh.close()<br>                                                                                                                      

<br>M=L<br>for x in L:<br>        x = x.split('#')<br>        for y in M:<br>            y = y.split('#')<br>        x_data = x[0],x[1],x[2],x[3]<br>        #print x_data<br>        y_data = y[0],y[1],y[2],y[3]

<br>        #print y_dat<br>        if x_data[0] == y_data[0]:<br>              print x_data<br><br><br>i get the result as a tupule,<br>the text file which has datas separated by hash<br>entry#isoform#start#stop#  i have to check upto this
