The string s below has single and double qoutes in it. For testing I surrounded it with triple single quotes. I want to split off the portion before the first \, but my split that works with shorter strings does not seem to work with this one.
Ideas? Thanks, jvh s = ''''D132258\',\'\', \'status=no,location=no,width=630,height=550,left=200,top=100\')" target="_blank" class="dvLink" title="Send an Email to selected employee">''' t = s.split('\\') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
