I'm tidying up some code. Basically, the code runs a bunch of regexp-searches (> 10) on a text and stores the match in a different variable.
Like this: re1 = r' ..(.*).. ' re2 = r' .... ' re3 = r' .(.*).. ' ... m = re.search(re1, data) if m: myclass.bar = m.group(1) m = re.search(re2, data) if m: myclass.foo = m.group(1) m = re.search(re3, data) if m: myclass.baz = m.group(1) While this code works, it's not very good looking. What I want is to rewrite it to something like this: l = [ (re1, myclass.bar), (re2, myclass.foo), (re3, myclass.baz), ] for (x,y) in l: m = re.search(x, y) if m: y = m.group(1) But since Python doesn't work that way, that idea is doomed. What I'm looking for are other (better) ways or pointers to accomplish this task of cleanup. -- Sincerely, | http://bos.hack.org/cv/ Rikard Bosnjakovic | Code chef - will cook for food ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
