I am looking for a simple split function to create a list of entries from a string which contains quoted elements. Like in 'google' search.
eg string = 'bob john "johnny cash" 234 june' and I want to have a list of ['bob', 'john, 'johnny cash', '234', 'june'] I wondered about using the csv routines, but I thought I would ask the experts first. There maybe a simple function, but as yet I have not found it. Thanks Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
