deleting elements inside a list problem

[DrunkenBrit]

I google searched again and came across this: http://effbot.org/zone/python-list.htm

It covers what you need to know If you're working with lists I suggest you read it.

To delete all elements in a list you use a slice like so:

list = [a,b,c,f,d,h,y]

del list[:] # Deletes all elements

print list # Check all items have been removed
