hi tim
thanks for the help
acutally i dint tell u the whole problem
i have list of lists, for ex
list1 =[ ['a','b','c','d','e'] , ['1','2','3','4'] , ['A','B','C','D']
]
and another list
list2 = ['1','2','5',4]
now am searching the items of list2 in list1 as below
Found = True
for i in list1:
for j in i:
if not list2[1] == j or not list2[2] == j:
if not list2[0] == j:
Found = False
elif list2[0] == j:
Found = True
break
now though it finds the the key in between and sets the "Found=True",
but later in the next list of if one item doesnt match it sets again
Found = False
i hope am clear this time
how to keep the Found = True for always if at all i find the item even
once.
thanks again in advance
yogi
