this means 66X where X is 1 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 0

4th digit in my examples of generated strings may be misleading, so please,
forget about it now.

there is a string:
 66[1,4-6,0]
but it could be
 254[2,3-6]
or 2[3-5]

what is in between brackets is 1 digit. in the first example it is:
1,0 - that is clear I suppose?
4-6 - which means 4,5,6

also something like:
2-8 - means 2,3,4,5,6,7,8

So I have to generate every possible number that fits this "regexp"

for 99[2,3] it will be:
992, 993

for 99[2-4]
it will be 992,993,994

for 99[1,3,6-8]
it will be 991,993,996,997,998

Is it clear now?

I am parsing some "xls" goverment data.. exactly telephone prefixes tables..
I may know the work-around but.. I wonder if there is an elegant solution in
python for this. All I can think of is spliting strings, matching for "-",
spliting again.. generate list in loops.. This works, but looks ugly.

Purpose? :

I need to do some matching outside the telephony software(asterisk). I(my
function) get the number, like:

992334432 and I need to match this number to a operator going through
prefixes...
in the goverment data I have a lot of lines like that one:

Netia: SPQ=71(1,3-0), SPQ=70(1-3), SP=3(1-3), SPQ=35(1,2,4-6,8,9),
SP=4(4-6), SPQ=41(1,3,7,0), SPQ=43(1-4,6-0), SPQM=390(5-0), SP=27,
SPQ=47(9,0), SPQM=3880

Where "Netia" is an operator name.

So you see... :) I don't expect people to understand my problems ;)


Thx for your time.
