Question

This is similar to this question with the answer:

search = 'a'
[item[1] for item in data if item[0] == search]
['x']

I modified it to extract all information associated with the search item:

[item[1:] for item in data if item[0] == 'aa90_273024']
returns - [('F5XKBWO01AQCVH', 'F5XKBWO01AQCVH')]

Original list entry: [...('aa90_273024', 'F5XKBWO01AQCVH', 'F5XKBWO01AQCVH')...]

However, I need to do this with a list of several 1000s of search items as a sublist. How should I modify the code to retrieve all search items from the larger list, preferably to a open("result.txt",'w').write()

Answer 1

I’m not quite sure what you’re asking, but here is a solution for what I’ve understood:

searches = ('aa90_273024', 'another_search', 'yet_another_search')
my_result = [item[1:] for item in data if item[0] in searches]
