Hello: I have been searching for an easy solution, and hopefully one has already been written, so I don't want to reinvent the wheel:
Suppose I have a string of expressions such as: "((($IP = "127.1.2.3") AND ($AX < 15)) OR (($IP = "127.1.2.4") AND ($AY != 0))) I would like to split up into something like: [ "OR", "(($IP = "127.1.2.3") AND ($AX < 15))", "(($IP = "127.1.2.4") AND ($AY != 0))" ] which I may then decide to or not to further split into: [ "OR", ["AND", "($IP = "127.1.2.3")", "($AX < 15)"], ["AND", "(($IP = "127.1.2.4")", ($AY != 0))"] ] Is there an easy way to do this? I tried using regular expressions, re, but I don't think it is recursive enough. I really want to break it up from: (E1 AND_or_OR E2) and make that int [AND_or_OR, E1, E2] and apply the same to E1 and E2 recursively until E1[0] != '(' But the main problem I am running to is, how do I split this up by outer parentheseis. So that I get the proper '(' and ')' to split this upper correctly? Thanks in advance: Michael Yanowitz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
