Hi Paul,
LineStart *really* wants to be parsed at the beginning of a line.
Your textline reads up to but not including the LineEnd. Try making
these changes.
1. Change textline to:
textline = pp.Combine(
pp.Group(pp.Word(pp.alphas, pp.printables) + pp.restOfLine)) +
\
pp.LineEnd().suppress()
Ah - so restOfLine excludes the actual line ending does it?
2. Change comb to:
comb = head + parser
Yes - I'd got this originally. I added the garbage to try to fix the
problem and forgot to take it back out! Thanks for the advice - it works
fine now, and will provide a base for extending the list format.
Thanks,
Ant...
