Can't iterate through a string and collect a list of strings in python. Typerror? -

i'm looking able gather list of strings divides larger string marker ',

however, maintain getting error:

typeerror: string indices must integers, not str

here's code if take @ it

for f in phonebook: print f if phonebook[f] + phonebook[f+1] == "'," : linestring = phonebook[startpoint:(f+1)] arrayofstrings[j] = linestring startpoint = f+2 j = j+1 #iterate through array homecoming arrayofstrings

a sample of how want code in end like:

print arrayofstrings[1]

+445557284

print arrayofstrings[4]

+445558928 etc.

every f going 1 of strings in list phonebook. it's list, needs indexed integers, can see.

what want enumerate

for idx, val in enumerate(phonebook): if phonebook[idx] + phonebook[idx+1] == "',"

you should create sure check bounds, otherwise you're going run on end of list here!

there recipe pairwise implment:

from itertools import tee, izip def pairwise(iterable): "s -> (s0,s1), (s1,s2), (s2, s3), ..." a, b = tee(iterable) next(b, none) homecoming izip(a, b) a, b in pairwise(phonebook): if + b == "',":

python string int typeerror
