Q: Hello! I tried to split the lines of the data using "line.split('tab') and it gives me back the whole of the text. A: Use line.split( '\t' ). \t is the TAB character.
Q: I've been having trouble working out how to search my lists for information and present it. I can make it so that it will say whether or not the search criteria is there, but not display it to the user. Can you point out a good (simple) tutorial online ... A: Don't know of a good tutorial (I find Python Power pretty good). However, I suggest the following: When you read in the data you need to create a list that stores the details of each paper (see "An effective way of storing the data ..." in the c/w spec. When you search, first find which authors/journals match the search criterion, and then search for those in the "List of papers", printing out those that you find.
