I looked all over the net but could not find if it is possible to
insert wildcards into strings. What I am trying to do is this: I am
trying to parse text from a Bible file. In case you're not familiar
with the way the Bible organizes itself, it is broken down into Books >
Chapters > Verses. The particular text I am working with are organized
into Book files (*.txt -- flat text file). Here is what the file looks
like:
{1:1} Random text here. {1:2} More text here. and so on.
Of course the {*} can be of any length, so I can't just do .split()
based on the length of the bracket text. What I would like to do is to
.split() using something akin to this:
textdata.split('{*}') # The '*' being a wildcard
Is this possible to do? If so, how is it done?
Thanks,
Harlin Seritt
