I've got the following code at the moment:

aLen = len(sa_data[1])
for a in range(1,aLen):

Is there a way to simply say: for a in len(sa_data[1]):?

for a in range(len(sa_data[1])):

but if sa_data[1] is iterable why not:

for item in sa_data[1]:

where item is your final target.

for a in range(len(sa_data[1])):

Thanks. I realise how stupid the question was. I had already written than into a variable...

As for the second solution, I'm using the number of the elements rather than the data, so the first solution is better for me.

No question is a stupid question if you don't know the answer.

Actually, no - the first is not better. Please, read https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Nev...n-sequence

I find it funny how that's a common mistake for people coming from other languages.

Anyway, thanks. I will replace where range(len()) appears in My Code with enumerate().
