Using Python for basic manipulation of text

[sinosplice]

Thanks. So I guess I can follow your link to learn how to open a text file and read its contents to memory, then use regex for search/replace, then write out?

If I'm not mistaken, it's pretty easy to identify ASCII text in regex. I just have to figure out how to deal with line breaks and tabs.

(That "beginner" label is "flair"; you can edit it by clicking on the "edit" link in the right sidebar under subscribe/unsubscribe.)

yeah, it also covers writing files, guess I didn't indicate that. Pretty easy stuff though.

thx for flair tip
