hi everyone. i would like to do some uri-decoding, which means to translate patterns like "%2b/dhg-%3b %7E" into "+/dhg-; ~": in practice, if a sequence like "%2b" is found, it should be translated into one character whose hex ascii code is 2b.
i did this: ... import re import sys modello = re.compile("%([0-9a-f][0-9a-f])", re.IGNORECASE) def funzione(corrispondenza): return chr(eval('0x' + corrispondenza.group(1))) for riga in sys.stdin: riga = modello.sub(funzione, riga) sys.stdout.write(riga) ... please comment it. can it be made easily or more compactly? i am a python regexp novice. bye max ps: i was trying to pythonate this kind of perl code: $riga =~ s/%([A-Fa-f0-9][A-Fa-f0-9])/chr(hex($1))/ge; -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
