Multi-arrays python

[bbarbero]

Hi again!

After testing the whole day, I have got my goals from the last email,
but as always, another issues came up! and now that Ive been able to
save a list of list (or multi-arrays) as below :

['100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n']
['10001.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n']
['10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n']
['10006.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3\n']
['10008.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n']

I am not able to manipulate it again! I read it with:
Myfile.read() and all what I get is a str type data, what make my aim
very difficult to reach! What I want, is just to read one line(one
specific line, so I wouldnt have to read the whole file) and to get
the numbers of the songs from that line. Maybe I should save the
information in another way... But I just get those lines as lists, and
write them in a file. Is there a better way? I am very receptive to
suggestions! Thanks again for your help!

Best regards,
Bea Mora

You are unclear about the syntax of your file. What is a line? Is this a
line?
['100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n']

If so what do the \n after the filenames mean? Is \n a newline, or is it
a backslash followed by 'n'? In the first case then every filename is on
a separate line. So then you are mixing two concepts of line.

Anyhow you would make your life easier by getting rid of the \n's.

If all your filenames are numeric with the extension mp3 then the
following gives you a list of the filenames from a line:

In [31]: re.findall('[0-9]+\.mp3', line)
Out[31]: ['100.mp3', '10008.mp3', '10005.mp3', '10001.mp3', '10006.mp3']
