Hi Running a test on a linux box, with python.
Trying to do a search/replace over a file, for a given string, and replacing the string with a chunk of text that has multiple lines. >From the cmdline, using sed, no prob. however, implementing sed, runs into issues, that result in a "termination error" The error gets thrown, due to the "\" of the newline. SO, and other sites have plenty to say about this, but haven't run across any soln. The test file contains 6K lines, but, the process requires doing lots of search/replace operations, so I'm interested in testing this method to see how "fast" the overall process is. The following psuedo code is what I've used to test. The key point being changing the "\n" portion to try to resolved the termination error. import subprocess ll_="ffdfdfdfghhhh" ll2_="12112121212121212" hash="aaaaa" data_=ll_+"\n"+ll2_+"\n"+qq22_ print data_ cc='sed -i "s/'+hash+'/'+data_+'/g" '+dname print cc proc=subprocess.Popen(cc, shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE) res=proc.communicate()[0].strip() =================== error sed: -e expression #1, char 38: unterminated `s' command _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
