dividing list

[vnproduktionz]

kind of a basic question but i cant seem to figure it out. well i have a list and i split it up using the split function but now im confusing how i can use one string and divide it to another. i tried turning it into a int or float but it didnt work. is it because its in a list? help please thanks advanced

for line in nub:
if "Total Current" in line:
word=line.split()
good=word[3]
print "09-10",good/3

pretty much im trying to get great to divide by 3 but it wont

i didn't quite understand what you're trying to do :) could you be more specific? and please use code tags next time :)

[vnproduktionz]

sorry, well heres the guidelines on it maybe it will help

Your program should offer the user a menu (with at least two choices in it) of ratios that it can display, for example, "State Appropriations as a percentage of Current Operations". Once the user chooses a ratio, the program should process the big sting, find the two numbers that it needs to compute the ratio every year, and print out the ratio of the two budget lines for each year.

i have to use for loops. basically i got as far as getting it to print out what i wanted but i cant seem to make a list divide by another list

[strider1066]

this might get you started...
python does not understand a number containing commas. try the following to strip out the commas...

s = '123,456,789'
t = s.split(',')
# join will combine a sequence of strings using the separator within the quotes
#which in this case is nothing. => '123456789'
ans = int(''.join(t))/3

wow that help a bit so now i got this
for line in budgetLineList:
if "Total Current" in line:
word=line.split()
good=word[3]
float(''.join(good))
if "State" in line:
word1=line.split()
good1=word1[4]
float(''.join(good1))

print float(''.join(good1))/float(''.join(good))*100

now my probelm is that when it prints it only prints the last value it doesnt go through a loop and print the rest of it. can i get some input on this? sorry im really a begginner in python and i just learned for loops

Please use the code tags... it makes things soooo much easier to read! (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement114-3.html)

Does this help you?

>>> data = \
       '''

Year: 1998

'''
>>> 
>>> data_list = data.split('\n')
>>> def example():
	# Loop through lines in the data_list
	for line in data_list:

		# Skip the blank line ?
		if line == '':
			continue

		# Iterator for line seperated by space
		# (without trailing spaces to prevent empty entries)
		words = line.strip().split(' ')

		# Line begins with 'Total Guys' ?
		if line.startswith('Total Guys'):

			# Print the last word in the line
			# (indexes start at 0, so we need to subtract a 1)
			print 'Total Guys: ', words[(len(words) - 1)]
