Hey everyone, I have a file containing the following type of data (only an example):
root:root What I want to do is take this line and divide it into two separate strings (the ':' character would divide the two strings, so the result of the example above would be "root" and "root.") The names will vary in length (this refers to username/group ownerships.) I'm probably missing something extremely basic. I found the module re to do the regular expression matching I need, but I'm not quite sure how I can actually split this line up into two separate variables. Thanks in advance :) James -- My blog: http://www.crazydrclaw.com/ My homepage: http://james.colannino.org/ "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, THE RIGHT of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." --United States Constitution, Second Ammendment -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
