Alan,
Good point. Earlier I was trying to figure out how the script worked, and
having else: print "break" seemed to help with that. For example, in one
version that I was tinkering with, break was printed 17 times. In the
current version, break is printed twice.
hope that makes sense,
Grnat

Are you sure you only want to print break? If so the code will
continue processing lines after the end of your list. My break
command will exit the loop when it finds the ] character. If you
don't want to use break you could set started to False again.
