Hi, Say I have a very big string with a pattern like:
akakksssk3dhdhdhdbddb3dkdkdkddk3dmdmdmd3dkdkdkdk3asnsn..... I want to split the sting into separate parts on the "3" and process each part separately. I might run into memory limitations if I use "split" and get a big array(?) I wondered if there's a way I could read (stream?) the string from start to finish and read what's delimited by the "3" into a variable, process the smaller string variable then append/build a new string with the processed data? Would I loop it and read it char by char till a "3"...? Or? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
