This will only work for a word with a parentheses ( ie. somefunction() ) > If you *really* want everything on the first line to be the ident, try this: > > ident = Word(alpha,alphanums+"_") + restOfLine > or > ident = Combine( Word(alpha,alphanums+"_") + restOfLine ) This nicely grabs the "\r".. How can I get around it? > Now the next step is to assign field names to the results: > > dataFormat = ident.setResultsName("ident") + ( dblQuotedString | > quoteList ).setResultsName("contents") This is super cool!! So let's take this for example test= 'fprintf( outFile "leSetInstSelectable( t )\n" )\r\n ("test" "test1" "foo aasdfasdf"\r\n "newline" "test2")\r\n' Now I want the ident to pull out 'fprintf( outFile "leSetInstSelectable( t )\n" )' so I tried to do this? ident = Forward() ident << Group( Word(alphas,alphanums) + LPAR + ZeroOrMore( dblQuotedString | ident | Word(alphas,alphanums) ) + RPAR) Borrowing from the example listed previously. But it bombs out cause it wants a ")" but it has one.. Forward() ROCKS!! Also how does it know to do this for just the first line? It would seem that this will work for every line - No? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
