I wrote a function that I suspect may already exist as a python builtin, but I can't find it:
def chunkify(s, chunksize): "Yield sequence s in chunks of size chunksize." for i in range(0, len(s), chunksize): yield s[i:i+chunksize] I wrote this because I need to take a string of a really, really long length and process 4000 bytes at a time. Is there a better solution? Matt -- A better way of running series of SAS programs: http://overlook.homelinux.net/wilsonwiki/SasAndMakefiles -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
