[Numpy-discussion] extracting values from an array

[Greg Willden]

Hi Eric,
Well I think that you have the parts that you need.
Perhaps something like is what you want.  Put x1 and x2 into an array and
sort it then access it from the sorted array.

x=N.arange(0.,-1.,-0.1);
xs=sort(array([-0.1, -0.55]));
sort(x[(x >= xs[0] )&(x<=xs[1])])

returns:  [-0.5,-0.4,-0.3,-0.2,-0.1,]

x=N.arange(0.,1.,0.1);
xs=sort(array([0.1, 0.55]));
sort(x[(x >= xs[0] )&(x<=xs[1])])

returns: [ 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5,]

Same code just different x and different limits going into xs.
Cheers,
Greg
