Dear all, Here's a puzzle that should be simple, but I'm so used to words that numbers tend to baffle me.
I've got fields that look something like this: 1942. Oct. 1,3,5,7,8,9,10 I need to parse them to obtain something like this: <sometag start="1942-10-01"/> <sometag start="1942-10-03"/> <sometag start="1942-10-05"/> <sometag start="1942-10-07" end "1942-10-10"/> The xml representation is incidental, the basic problem is how to test a list of integers to see if they contain a range, and if they do, do something different with them. I'm sure this is the question of a rank tyro, but the denizens of this list seem tolerant and gentle. Many thanks. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
