I'm practicing manipulating data with a text file. I'm trying to use shlex.split to break up each line, which works great until it gets to the first apostrophe:
fin = open('huckfinn.txt') startstring = 'START OF THIS PROJECT' for line in fin: print line words = shlex.split(line) This is the line is where it's choking, complaining that there is no closing quote: YOU don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The How can I get shlex.split to ignore single apostrophes such as the one above? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
