It'd be silly to write the code for it if it already exists somewhere in the Python re or sre library module:
I need to find and replace all strings in a text file from a certain pattern to another pattern. so for example if I see 'this(\D*)that' anywhere in the file then I'd like to make is 'that(\D*)this' where the middle part of the strings remains unmodified. Any suggestions? Peace. Vibha PS. How do I avoid getting my email ID web-published for this mailing list.? ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
