This is a Python question which is not specific to Ignition, but I am using this in a gateway script. I have a script that does exactly what I want but I am guessing there is a more efficient way to code this in Python and welcome any comments. I have a list of 10 alarm tags but I need to append a prefix and suffix for the tag path of each item in the list. The code is:
#Create list of integers 1-10
IndexList = range(1,11,1)
#Convert integer list to string list
StrIndexList = list(map(str, IndexList))
print StrIndexList
#Add a suffix to each value in the list
AlarmText = '/Alarm'
SuffixList = [SuffixVal + AlarmText for SuffixVal in StrIndexList]
print SuffixList
#Add a prefix to each value in the list
AlmTagList = ["Test_Tags/Alarm" + TextVal for TextVal in SuffixList]
print AlmTagList
The results from the print statements are exactly what I want:
['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10']
['1/Alarm', '2/Alarm', '3/Alarm', '4/Alarm', '5/Alarm', '6/Alarm', '7/Alarm', '8/Alarm', '9/Alarm', '10/Alarm']
['Test_Tags/Alarm1/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm2/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm3/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm4/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm5/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm6/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm7/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm8/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm9/Alarm', 'Test_Tags/Alarm10/Alarm']
Is there a more concise/efficient way to code this?
