Hi, I know that i can do readline() from a file object. However, how can I read till a specific seperator? for exmple, if my files are
name profession id # name2 profession3 id2
I would like to read this file as a record.
I can do this in perl by defining a record seperator;
is there an equivalent in python? thanks
I don't think so. But in the pyNMS package (http://sourceforge/net/projects/pynms) there is a module called "expect", and a class "Expect". With that you can wrap a file object and use the Expect.read_until() method to do what you want.
