All, I have been going through the manuals and not having much luck with the following code. This is basically an issue of giving 'split' multiple patterns to split a string. If it had an ignore case switch, the problem would be solved. Instead, I have to code the following, which works fine for a single byte string. What can I do when I want to look for strings?
>>> test = 'A big Fat CAt' >>> A = test.split('A') >>> print A ['', ' big Fat C', 't'] >>> a = [] >>> for x in xrange(len(A)): ... tmp = A[x].split('a') ... for y in xrange(len(tmp)): ... a.append(tmp[y]) ... >>> >>> a ['', ' big F', 't C', 't'] It is odd about the help files, after I figure out how to do something, the help makes sense. Before hand is another story... Are there any others out there that share this misery? thanks, Michael ___________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this message and any attachment may be proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject to the work product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure.
