hi there i'm experimanting with imaplib and came across stringts like (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent Items" in which the quotes are part of the string.
now i try to convert this into a list. assume the string is in the variable f, then i tried f.split() but i end up with ['(\\HasNoChildren)', '"."', '"INBOX.Sent', 'Items"'] so due to the sapce in "Sent Items" its is sepearted in two entries, what i don't want. is there another way to convert a string with quoted sub entries into a list of strings? thanks a lot, olli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
