All I am after realy is to change this
reline = re.line.split('instr', '/d$')
into something that grabs any line with instr in it take all the
numbers and then grab any comment that may or may not be at the end of
the line starting with ; until the end of the line including white
spaces.. this is a corrected version from
http://python-forum.org/py/viewtopic.php?t=1703
thanks in advance the hole routine is down below..
[code]
def extractCsdInstrument (input_File_Name, output_File_Name,
instr_number):
"takes an .csd input file and grabs instr_number instrument and
creates output_File_Name"
f = open (input_File_Name , 'r') #opens file passed
in to read
f2 = open (output_File_Name, 'w') #opens file passed
in to write
instr_yes = 'false' #set flag to false
for line in f: #for through all
the lines
if "instr" in line: #look for instr in
the file
if instr_yes == 'true': #check to see if
this ends the instr block
break #exit the block
reline = re.line.split('instr', '/d$') #error probily
split instr and /d (decimal number into parts) $ for end of line
number = int(reline[1]) #convert to a
number maybe not important
if number == instr_number: #check to see if
it is the instr passed to function
instr_yes = "true": #change flag to
true because this is the instr we want
if instr_yes = "true": #start of code to
copy to another file
f2.write(f.line) #write line to
output file
f.close #close input file
f2.close
[/code]
