I've hacked together a small utility program that I assume can be written much better. The program reads in output from a statistical program and spits out the relevant data needed. The purpose of the program is to reach into the original data file (which is a text file), pull out the relevant

R is the open-source implementation of the S language developed at Bell laboratories. It is a statistical programming language that is becoming the de facto standard among statisticians. Rpy is what allows an interface between python and the R language. Harold -Original Message- From:

Beginner question on text processing
