OK, I'm stumped. I'm trying to find newline characters (\n, specifically) that are NOT in comments.
So, for example (where "<-" = a newline character): ========================================== 1: <- 2: /*<- 3: ----------------------<- 4: comment<- 5: ----------------------<- 6: */<- 7: <- 8: CODE CODE CODE<- 9: <- ========================================== I want to return the newline characters at lines 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9 but NOT the others. I've tried using regular expressions but I dislike them because they aren't immediately readable (and also I don't bloody understand the things). I'm not opposed to using them, though, if they provide a solution to this problem! Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone can provide. - Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
