I just did some of this parsing in python for getting translation strings from
patches:
regex = re.compile('#X text [0-9]+ [0-9]+ ([^;]*);', re.MULTILINE | re.DOTALL)
matches = [m.groups() for m in regex.finditer(text)]
nonewlines = re.compile('\n', re.MULTILINE)
nobackslashes = re.compile(' \\\\', re.MULTILINE)
escapedoublequote = re.compile('[^\\\\]"', re.MULTILINE)
ids = []
for m in matches:
if m:
chunk = m[0]
chunk = re.sub(nonewlines, ' ', chunk)
chunk = re.sub(nobackslashes, '', chunk)
chunk = re.sub(escapedoublequote, '\\"', chunk)
if chunk not in ids:
ids.append(chunk)
