What is the best way to process a text file of delimited strings? I've got a file where strings are quoted with at-signs, @like [EMAIL PROTECTED] At-signs in the string are represented as doubled @@.
What's the most efficient way to process this? Failing all else I will split the string into characters and use a FSM, but it seems that's not very pythonesqe. @rv@ 2 @db.locks@ @//depot/hello.txt@ @mh@ @mh@ 1 1 44 @pv@ 0 @db.changex@ 44 44 @mh@ @mh@ 1118875308 0 @ :@@: :@@@@: @ (this is from a perforce journal file, btw) Many TIA!
