Most unclear. My apologies. I'm trying to structure a tokenizer. The stupid concatenations are just placeholders for the actual tokenizing work. By rebuilding the input they demonstrate that the framework correctly processes all the input.
I'm currently using a C-style design (my own pointers into an array of strings) but I suspect I've got the solution an old C guy would have. As a Python newbie I don't yet think in Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
