In the linked project, regular expression are used to parse communication protocol responses, file contents, and interporocess communcation (at least). They may not be pretty elegant solutions, but this is the first project I made in python (and also with regex)!! NOTE: I am the author, and I swear the application is free of viruses, it has been fully developed with a python and a WingWare standar installation, and it will only deposit some files on your $python$/Lib/site-packages folder. Any comments welcome. NOTE2: Software in spanish, but it should not be pretty difficult to follow (I hope!) best regards, Zara http://www.albalaing.com/Firmware.aspx?id_firmware=2359 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
