By the way, my use case was 'having split your thing nicely up into 6 named groups, how do you write them out again as the same groups in a different order' Ie take a file: dog animal bites fish animal doesn't book object doesn't and turn it into: an animal that bites is a dog an animal that doesn't bite is a fish an object that doesn't bite is a book .... I actually was stuffing docstrings from python2.4 into Pypy. :-) There must be a way to do this which deosn't involve assigning to python variables, but i never found it in time. But after futzing around a bunch, i concluded that the regexp how to was short on how to actually batch precess a file making a set of substutions based on the matches you found. Which I wish I knew how to do better. thanks all, Laura _______________________________________________ Doc-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/doc-sig
