Approach this in a test-driven development way. Create sample input and output files. Write a unit test something like this (below) and run it. You'll either solve the problem yourself or ask more specific questions. ;-)For a python code I am writing I need to remove all strings definitions from source and substitute them with a place-holder.
To make clearer: line 45 sVar="this is the string assigned to sVar" must be converted in: line 45 sVar=s00001
Such substitution is recorded in a file under: s0001[line 45]="this is the string assigned to sVar"
For curious guys: I am trying to implement a cross variable reference tool and the variability (in lenght) of the string definitions (expecially if multi-line) can cause display problems.
I need your help in correctly identifying the strings (also embedding
the r'xx..' or u'yy...' as part of the string definition). The problem
is mainly on the multi-line definitions or in cached strings
(embedding chr() definitions or escape sequences).
Cheers,

expected = open("expected.txt").read()
actual = substitute(data)
self.assertEquals(expected, actual)if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main()
