Hello, I have a situation where I have a file that contains text similar to:
myValue1 = contents of value1 myValue2 = contents of value2 but with a new line here myValue3 = contents of value3 My first approach was to open the file, use readlines to split the lines on the "=" delimiter into a key/value pair (to be stored in a dict). After processing a couple files I noticed its possible that a newline can be present in the value as shown in myValue2. In this case its not an option to say remove the newlines if its a "multi line" value as the value data needs to stay intact. I'm a bit confused as how to go about getting this to work. Any suggestions on an approach would be greatly appreciated! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
