Dumb Stupid Question About List and String

[Alban Nona]

Just Another Question on this one, Im trying to create that kind of thing in
code now:

#GENERE ET INCREMENT LE NOM DES ELEMENTS

val = 0

list = ["0", "1", "2", "3"]

listEl = []

for n in list:

     val = val + 1

     next = "00" +str(val)

     elem = "ELM"+next

     listEl.append(elem)



#INCREMENT LE NOM DES ELEMENTS AVEC LE NOM DES PASSES

listPass = ["DIF","SPC", "RFL", "SSS", "REFR", "ALB", "AMB", "NRM", "MVE",
"DPF", "SDW", "MAT", "WPP"]

listElem = []

for first in listEl:

     for second in listPass:

         listElem.append(first+"_"+second)


print listElem

print listEl

What I would like to do is:

if 'ELM001' Contained in one of the entries of listElem, create a new list
with only 'ELM001' Elements (eg: newList=['ELM001_DIF', 'ELM001_SPC',
'ELM001_RFL', 'ELM001_SSS', 'ELM001_REFR', 'ELM001_ALB', 'ELM001_AMB',
'ELM001_NRM', 'ELM001_MVE', 'ELM001_DPF', 'ELM001_SDW', 'ELM001_MAT',
'ELM001_WPP']

Damn Im sooooooooo lost with this tables and loop, Im always trying to
understand in which way I should do it.... :/
Any Ideas please ?
