I've been working on some code to search for specific textstrings and act upon them insome way. I've got the conversion sorted however there is 1 problem remaining.
I am trying to work out how to make it find a string like this "===" and when it has found it, I want it to add "===" to the end of the line. For example. The text file contains this: ===Heading and I am trying to make it be processed and outputted as a .dat file with the contents ===Heading=== Here's the code I have got so far. import string import glob import os mydir = os.getcwd() newdir = mydir#+"\\Test\\"; for filename in glob.glob1(newdir,"*.txt"): #print "This is an input file: " + filename fileloc = newdir+"\\"+filename #print fileloc outputname = filename outputfile = string.replace(outputname,'.txt','.dat') #print filename #print a print "This is an input file: " + filename + ". Output file: "+outputfile #temp = newdir + "\\" + outputfile #print temp fpi = open(fileloc); fpo = open(outputfile,"w+"); output_lines = [] lines = fpi.readlines() for line in lines: if line.rfind("--------------------") is not -1: new = line.replace("--------------------","----") elif line.rfind("img:") is not -1: new = line.replace("img:","[[Image:") elif line.rfind(".jpg") is not -1: new = line.replace(".jpg",".jpg]]") elif line.rfind(".gif") is not -1: new = line.replace(".gif",".gif]]") else: output_lines.append(line); continue output_lines.append(new); for line in output_lines: fpo.write(line) fpi.close() fpo.flush() fpo.close() I hope this gets formatted correctly :-p Cheers, hope you can help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
