pyparsing can be run in several modes, one of which tokenizes and extracts data according to a given grammar, one of which scans for pattern matches, and one which translates matched patterns into other patterns. Its not clear from your e-mail what you are trying to do. There is nothing in your statement that would cause Python to "just hang there", what else is your program doing? -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
