Hey guys, I want to be able to insert a '-' character in front of all numeric values in a string. I want to insert the '-' character to use in conjunction with the getopt.getopt() function.
Rigt now, I'm implementing a menu system where users will be able to select a set of options like "2a 3ab" which corresponds to menu choices. However, with getopt.getopt(), it'll only return what I want if I input -2a -3ab as my string. I don't want the user have to insert a '-' character in front of all their choices, so I was thinking of accepting the string input first, then adding in the '-' character myself. So my qusetion is, how do I change: "2a 3ab" into "-2a -3ab". Regular expressions? :/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
