Thanks a lot for the fix Raymond. Though, the code seems to have a minor problem. It works, but the report is wrong. e.g. output: 30068: c:/Users/h3/web/xahlee_org/p/time_machine\tm-ch04.html that 30068 position is the last char in the file. The correct should be 28319. (or at least point somewhere in the file at a bracket char that doesn't match.) Today, i tried 3 more scripts. 2 fixed python3 versions, 1 ruby, all failed again. I've reported the problems i encounter at python or ruby newsgroups. If you are the author, a fix is very much appreciated. I'll get back to your code and eventually do a blog of summary of all different lang versions. Am off to test that elaborate perl regex now... cross fingers. Xah.
