update...
dat=re.compile("<br>#(\d+) / (\d+)#(\d+)#").split(s)
almost works..
except i get
m = 10116#000#C S#S#100##001##DAY#Fund of Computing#Barrett,
William#3#MWF<br>#08:00am<br>#08:50am<br>#3718 HBLL
m = 45
m = 58
m = 0
m = 10116#000#C S#S#100##002##DAY#Fund of Computing#Barrett,
William#3#MWF<br>#09:00am<br>#09:50am<br>#3718 HBLL
m = 9
m = 58
m = 0
and what i want is:
m = 10116#000#C S#S#100##001##DAY#Fund of Computing#Barrett,
William#3#MWF<br>#08:00am<br>#08:50am<br>#3718 HBLL 45 / 58,0
m = 10116#000#C S#S#100##002##DAY#Fund of Computing#Barrett,
William#3#MWF<br>#09:00am<br>#09:50am<br>#3718 HBLL 9 / 58,0
so i'd have the results of the "compile/regex process" to be added to
the split lines
thoughts/comments??
thanks
The split method also returns what's matched in any capture groups,
i.e. "(\d+)". Try omitting the parentheses:
dat = re.compile(r"<br>#\d+ / \d+#\d+#").split(s)
You should also be using raw string literals as above (r"..."). It
doesn't matter in this instance, but it might in others.

hi.
got a test file with the sample content listed below:
the content is one long string, and needs to be split into separate lines
I'm thinking the pattern to split on should be a kind of regex like::
<br>#45 / 58#0#
or
<br>#9 / 58#0
but i have no idea how to make this happen!!
if i read the content into a buf -> s
import re
dat = re.compile("what goes here??").split(s)
--i'm not sure what goes in the compile() to get the process to work..
thoughts/comments would be helpful.
thanks
