Thanks for the idea :)
What I do not get is how I can replace a string with that.
If I write something like:
for line in filehandle.input('myfile.txt', inplace=1):
rx = re.match(r'^\s*(\d+).*',line )
if not rx:
continue
else:
oldValue = rx.group(1)
Value = 123456789
line = string.replace(line, oldValue, "%d" Value)
print line
break
This code replaces the whole file with line, instead of replacinf the old
value with the new one. Did I forget something ?
