I have spent so much time using sed and awk that I think that way. Now,
when I have to do some Python things, I am having to break out of my
sed-ness and awk-ness, and it is causing me problems. I'm trying. Honest!
Here are the two things that I'm trying to do:
In sed, I can print every line between ^start to ^end by using
/^start/,/^end/p. It's quick, easy, and doesn't take much time. Is there
a way to do this easily in Python?
Also, I frequently use something like s/^[A-Z]/~&/ to pre-pend a tilde
or some other string to the beginning of the matched string. I know how
to find the matched string, but I don't know how to change the beginning
of it while still keeping the matched part.
If I were able to stay in the *nix environment for all my work, I could
do it with these tools and the beloved pipe(|), but that isn't my lot in
life. I would do it in Perl, but, frankly, it gives me headaches even
looking at it.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Lance
