Ah, the dangers of thinking of all string manipulation as requiring
regexps, thanks to their ubiquity in Perl. Observe:
>search for : for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++)
>Replace with: for( printf( "10" ), i = 0; i < 10; i++)
All you need is:
strToFind = "for ("
strToReplace = 'for (printf( "+str(lineno)+'" ),'
# Note the use of '' to avoid the need to escape the "s
fNew.write(l.replace(strToFind, strToReplace)
(OK, maybe you do need the regexp if you've got any "for (;" loops,
or inconsitencies as to whether it's "for(" or "for (". But if a
simple string replace will do the job, use it.)
