Nice module : import tokenize def processStrings(type, token, (srow, scol), (erow, ecol), line): if tokenize.tok_name[type] == 'STRING' : print tokenize.tok_name[type], token, \ (srow, scol), (erow, ecol), line file = open("myprogram.py") tokenize.tokenize( file.readline, processStrings ) How would you go about writing the output to a file? I mean, I would like to open the file at main level and pass a handle to the file to processStrings to write to it, finally close output file at main level. Probably a class with a processString method? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
