listOfLists = [[], [], [], ['jeff'], []]
So I have many lists within a list. How would I get the index of the list containing the name jeff?
Thanks.

def GetIndex(listOfLists, name):
…for num, subList in enumerate(listOfLists):
…if name in subList:
…return num
…# If nothing found…
…return -1
for subList in listOfLists:
for item in subList:
if item == "jeff":
return listOfLists.index(subList)
That should probably work.
lol:
listOfLists.index(['jeff'])
Honestly, this data structure does not look like it fits your needs. Searching such a structure is inefficient, hard to maintain and hard to understand.
But I do not know you further requirements.
That works, thanks guys!
