I have used xlrd to pull data from a column (Data Below). I need to group together the ip addressess. So ip address that appear next together in the output belong to the same pool and single ones are in a pool of their own. For example (10.100.33.183,10.100.33.184) belong to (pool1). (Pool6 =10.100.33.89)
How do I go about achieving this all help welcome.
['', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'Pool Member IP', '', '10.100.33.184 (S56723FR6VL01)', '10.100.33.183 (S56723FR6VL02)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '10.101.33.182 (S56723FR6VL03)', '10.100.33.181 (S56723FR6VL04)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '10.100.33.180 (S56723FR6VL05)', '10.100.33.179 (S56723FR6VL06)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '10.100.33.178 (S56723FR6VL07)', '10.100.33.177 (S56723FR6VL08)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '10.100.33.90 (S56723FR6VL09)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '10.100.33.89 (S56723FR6VL0A)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '10.100.33.91 (S56723FR6VW01)', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '']
