Hi all,
I've been struggling with this for a while so I'm hoping that someone
could point me in the right direction. Here's my problem: I'm trying to
get the XPath for a given node in my document and then store that XPath
as an attribute of the element itself. If anyone has a recommendation
I'd be
Hi,
I'm looking for a little advice about regular expressions. I want to
capture a string of text that falls between an opening squre bracket
and a closing square bracket (e.g., "[" and "]") but I've run into a
small problem.
I've been using this: '''\[(.*?)\]''' as my pattern. I was expecting

Thanks again and sorry about the lack of examples. It didn't even occur
to me that my example wasn't comprehensive enough when I posted my
first message but I can see the issue now.
Your solution is really helpful for me to see. I can't tell you how
much I apprecaite it. I thought that adding more
Thanks very much for this I really appreciate it. I've pasted what I've

I only have one issue that I can't figure out. When I print the new

the one that corresponds to the original entry.

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'm trying to write a script that will create a new directory and then

Hi,
I've always struggled with classes and this one is no exception.
I'm working in an SGML file and I want to renumber a couple of elements
in the hierarchy based on the previous level.
E.g.,
My document looks like this
A. Title Text
1. Title Text
1. Title Text
1. Title Text
B. Title Text
1.
Thanks for this but I'm still getting an "empty" character (I don't
know what else to call it) rather than the text captured by my regular
expression in my replaced text.
I even added the utf encoding declaration to my input data but still no
luck.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm hopelessly lost.
I'm trying to make a change in some XML files using a regular
expression (re.sub). I can capture the text I want to replace OK but
when I replace it end up with nothing: i.e., just a "" character in my
file.
data = re.sub(r'(?i)(?u)Sample
Hi,
I've experimented with regular expressions to solve my problems in the
past but I have seen so many comments about HTMLParser and sgmllib that
I thought I would try a different approach this time so I tried using
HTMLParser.

Thanks very much for your help. It's greatly appreciated.
It look a couple of tries to see what was happening but I've figured
it out.

Thanks. One more question, though.
I'm not sure how to limit the scope of my search so that I'm just
extracting the id attribute from the sections that I want. I.e., I want
the id attributes from the forms in sections 1 and 3 but not from 2.
Maybe I'm missing something.

Hi,
I'm trying to write a script that will extract the value of an
attribute from an element using the attribute value of another element
as the basis for extraction.
For example, in my situation I have a pre-defined list of main sections
and I want to extract the id attribute of the form element
Hi,
Would anyone be willing to give me some feedback about this little

still have a lot to learn about Python so I'm always grateful for
constructive feedback.
Thanks,

I'm learning more and more about Python all the time but I'm still a

It works but I was wondering if there was anything I could do better.
