I'm totally stumped by this problem so I'm hoping someone can give me a
little advice or point me in the right direction.
I have a file that looks like this:
<SC>APPEAL<XC>40-24; 40-46; 42-46; 42-48; 42-62; 42-63 <SC>PROC
GUIDE<XC>92<LT>1(b)(1)
(i.e., <<SC>[chapter name]<XC>[multiple or single book page
ranges]<SC>[chapter name]<XC>[multiple or single book page
ranges]<LT>[code]
but I want to change it so that it looks like this
<1><SC>APPEAL<XC>40-24<LT>1(b)(1)
<1><SC>APPEAL<XC>40-46<LT>1(b)(1)
<1><SC>APPEAL<XC>42-46<LT>1(b)(1)
<1><SC>APPEAL<XC>42-48<LT>1(b)(1)
<1><SC>APPEAL<XC>42-62<LT>1(b)(1)
<1><SC>APPEAL<XC>42-63<LT>1(b)(1)
<1><SC>PROC GUIDE<XC>92<LT>1(b)(1)
but I'm not at all sure how to do it.
I've come up with a simlple function that will change the order of the
text but I'm not sure how to break out
def Switch(m):
return '%s<LT>%s' % (m.group(2), m.group(1))
data = re.sub(r'''<1>(.*?)<LT>(.*?)\n''', Switch, data)
But I'm still a long way from what I need.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
