So you have a tag. This is a specific mark, a regular expression. You need to search for the instances of this tag in a file, and then utilize the info in between these tags. Us sophisticated doctors and PhD's would splice out the info in between tags, right?:) help(re) And scientific method from there. so the output will be for example: 1010 files in > total: 105 in under folder hierarchy of 4, 305 under folder hierarchy of 3 > 600 under folder hierarchy of 2. 7 files with 3 tags 3 files with 2 tags 10 > files with 1 tag. > So, please help me. how can I get those tags out of the files? > > > David Hutto-2 wrote: >> >> On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 12:36 PM, nonino <noa.grasdovi...@live.biu.ac.il> >> wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> First I would like to say that I really searched the net but couldn't >>> find >>> an answer...
