>From what I have read the string module is obsolete and should not be used but I am working on a project that parses printable files created in a DOS program and creates a web page for each file. I am using the string.printable constant to determine which characters should be kept; the files contain many print control codes. There seems to be nothing like this in the string methods. isalnum() seems the nearest but gives false for '+' '!' etc.
I realise I could define a global string to cover this but wondered if there was another, better, way Regards, John -- War is God's way of teaching Americans geography Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
