Re: joining strings question

Hi all,

I have some data with some categories, titles, subtitles, and a link
to their pdf and I need to join the title and the subtitle for every
file and divide them into their separate groups.

So the data comes in like this:

data = ['RULES', 'title','subtitle','pdf',
'title1','subtitle1','pdf1','NOTICES','title2','subtitle2','pdf','title3','subtitle3','pdf']

What I'd like to see is this:

[RULES', 'title subtitle','pdf', 'title1 subtitle1','pdf1'],
['NOTICES','title2 subtitle2','pdf','title3 subtitle3','pdf'], etc...

I don't know where your data come from, but the data structure is obviously wrong. It should at least be a list of tuples, ie:

data = [
('RULES', [
('title', 'subtitle', 'pdf'),
('title1', 'subtitle1', 'pdf1')
]
),
('NOTICES',[
('title2','subtitle2','pdf',)
('title3','subtitle3','pdf')
]
),
]


I've racked my brain for a while about this and I can't seem to figure
it out. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

If possible, fix the code generating the dataset. Any other solution will be at best a dirty - and brittle - hack.
