I've found Python a lot cleaner and with these additional advantages (off-the-top of my head): - support for Unicode - no file size limits (I've worked with files > 100Gb without problem) - 64-bit option if you want to do lots of in-memory processing - built-in support for regular expressions - built-in support for packed binary formats - built-in support for walking hierarchical directory structures - almost seamless portability across Windows/Linux (for non-gui scripts) Malcolm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
