Thanks, this helped out. I hadn't thought of trying to use strings for this, I will give that a shot.
I removed the TYPE field from the regex thinking that might have been causing a problem and forgot to add it back to my regex.On 12/27/05, Kent Johnson

Greetings,
Did not think I could post my code here as it's a bit long so I placed it in
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/465531
Can some of you have a look and post comments, suggestions, alternatives?
Thanks.
BTW, the recipe is sufficient for our needs at the moment but

You should look at re.spl

Hmm, on reflection I don't thing "Ha!" will be a problem, but a 'word'
with no letters will cause an IndexError.

Glad to help, glad you got it working too.!

Hi!
I would to working with some files. But I have to using a regular expression
with one of them:
for file in [glob.glob('/etc/env.d/[0-9]*foo'), '/etc/bar']:
glob returns a list so i'm supposed that i would that convert it into a
string.
Is it correct?
Thanks for your help

I am trying to build a data structure that would be a dictionary of a
dictionary of a list.
In Perl I would build the structure like so $dictionary{key1}{key2}[0] = X
I would iterate like so ...
foreach my $key1 ( sort keys %dictionary ) {
foreach my $key2 ( sort keys %{$dictionary{$key1}

How do I code this in python. Assuming fields is a list of 3 things.
(myfielda, myfieldb, myfieldc) = fields
When i try that I get
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack.
If i print fields it is in need printed as
['somestring','somestring','somestring']
TIA,

Never mind. i figured this out. the top line of a file i was reading in and
splitting only had 1 char so "fields" on that line was not a list. I fixed
this.

Hi all,
I'm a week or so into having switched from WinXP to linux (ubuntu
breezy). There is a lot to learn about the differences in the OS'es
and that's just fine.
But, a couple of things have been in my way with Python. Most notably,
I don't know how one browses the documentation. On Window

Hi all,
I'd like to thank the tutor community, especially Alan, Danny, and
Kent, but all the other posters, regular and occasional, tutor or
tutee, too.
I've recently been engaged in what, for pre-python and -tutor me,
would have been some deeply black magic unrelated to python, and the

Hello,
I was taking a look at BeautifulSoup as recommended by bob and from what I
can tell it`s just what I`m looking for but it`s a bit over my current
skills with python I`m afraid.I`ll still keep playing with it and see what I
can come up with.
I`ll also take a look at regexes as recommended by
