I am trying to write a program in python (brand new to Python) that
would create a database of posts made to binary groups so the user can
search for a certain file and have a nzb file returned. I am planning
on using the XOVER command to get the list of posts and then dump those
into a database.
The part I am stuck at now is that some file posts consist of multiple
parts as below (abbreviated XOVER reply)
1511156 As Requested 2000 adv server -2000AdvSrv.vol001+02.PAR2 (1/4) -
21/27
1511157 As Requested 2000 adv server -2000AdvSrv.vol001+02.PAR2 (2/4) -
21/27
1511158 As Requested 2000 adv server -2000AdvSrv.vol001+02.PAR2 (3/4) -
21/27
1511159 As Requested 2000 adv server -2000AdvSrv.vol001+02.PAR2 (4/4) -
21/27
I am trying to detect how many segments make up this post. One solution
would be to look for (1/ in the subject string then find the
denominator and loop thru as many times as the denominator to create
the part of the nzb file. Is this the best way or is there an
easier method? Also what would be the best way to search for the (1/
using string searches or RegExp? If REgExp could someone provide me
with the RegExp for searching for this string?
Thanks
Salman
