Perl would be my standard go to here, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks! UPDATE: I ended up going with XML::Simple which did a nice job, but I have one piece of advice if you ...
Anyone ever come up to this problem? Let's say you have two arrays like the following a = array([1,2,3,4,5,6]) b = array([1,4,5]) Is there a way to compare what elements in a exist in b?

I have a script which reads a text file, and pulls decimal numbers out of it as strings, and places them into a list. So I have this list: ['0.49', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54'] How do I convert each value in the li...

The dictionary is POST, and the object is a Model (in Django, perhaps Django has better way to do this).
