I am currently working my way through Jeffrey Friedl's book Mastering Regular Expressions. Great book apart from the fact it uses Perl for the examples.
One particular expression that interests me is '$/ = ".\n"' which, rather than splitting a file into lines, splits on a period-newline boundary. Combined with Perl's 'while (<>)' construct this seems a great way to process the files I am interested in. Without wishing to start a flame war, is there a way to do this in Python?
