Correct.
I think that the increment of 'i' should differ in the two cases though. The
snippet below works perfectly. Many thanks for your help.
def convert_external(lines):
external_rexp = re.compile(r'\\begin_inset External ([^,]*),"([^"]*)",')
top = "\\begin_inset External"
i = 0
while 1:
i = find_token(lines, top, i)
if i == -1:
break
look = external_rexp.search(lines[i])
args = ['','']
if look:
args[0] = look.group(1)
args[1] = look.group(2)
#FIXME: if the previous search fails then warn
template = "\ttemplate " + args[0]
if args[1]:
filename = "\tfilename " + args[1]
lines[i:i+1] = [top, template, filename]
i=i+2
else:
lines[i:i+1] = [top, template]
i = i + 1
