I have this list of lists:
listoflist = [['BOTOS', 'AUGUSTIN', 14, 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE', 'AUGUSTIN', 14, 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
^^ That was just a example, I will have many more lists in my list of lists with the same format. This will be my desired output:
listoflist = [['BOTOS AUGUSTIN', 14, 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE AUGUSTIN', 14, 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
Basically in each list I want to join first index with the second to form a full name in one index like in the example. And I would need a function for that who will take a input a list, how can I do this in a simple way? (I don't want extra lib for this). I use python 3.5, thank you so much for your time!
You can iterate through the outer list and then join the slice of the first two items:
def merge_names(lst):
for l in lst:
l[0:2] = [' '.join(l[0:2])]
merge_names(listoflist)
print(listoflist)
# [['BOTOS AUGUSTIN', 14, 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE AUGUSTIN', 14, 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
this simple list-comprehension should do the trick:
res = [[' '.join(item[0:2]), *item[2:]] for item in listoflist]
join
the first two items in the list and append the rest as is.
You can try this:
f = lambda *args: [' '.join(args[:2]), *args[2:]]
listoflist = [['BOTOS', 'AUGUSTIN', 14, 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE', 'AUGUSTIN', 14, 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
final_list = [f(*i) for i in listoflist]
Output:
[['BOTOS AUGUSTIN', 14, 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE AUGUSTIN', 14, 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
You can use a list comprehension as well:
listoflist = [['BOTOS', 'AUGUSTIN', 14, 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE', 'AUGUSTIN', 14, 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
def f(lol):
return [[' '.join(l[0:2])]+l[3:] for l in lol]
listoflist = f(listoflist)
print(listoflist)
# => [['BOTOS AUGUSTIN', 'March 2016', 600, 'ALOCATIA'], ['HENDRE AUGUSTIN', 'February 2015', 600, 'ALOCATIA']]
