Let me modify this example: a = [['jimmy', '25', 'pancakes'], ['tom', '23', 'brownies'], ['harry', '21', 'cookies']] for i in a: *b = i[0]* if (i[1] == '25' or i[1] == '26'): print *b* else: print 'Not found'
This will output: *jimmy* *Not found* *Not found* * * How do I print positive matches (*jimmy*) only and not (*Not found*). I also want *Not found *to print only *once *if there are no positive matches.
