Is it possible to access the next and previous items during an iteration?
I want to use it to iterate through html files in a folder and add
links in to the next and previous pages.
For example
for page in folder:
#add link to previous page
#add link to next page
I'm currently using:
prev = 0
current = 0
next = 0
for page in folder:
prev = current
current = next
next = page
if current:
if prev:
#add link to previous page
#add link to next page
if current:
if prev:
#add link to previous page
#add link to next page
But this seems a really awkward way to do it.
I've considered iterating and dumping them all into a list and then
iterating through the list, but that also seems awkward (having to
iterate twice).
Is there a nice way to do it?
Thanks
Ed
