python parsing question

This seriously makes my head hurt just looking at it. I know regex can be powerful, but damn that is not intuitive to read!

python parsing question

OK, I realized I only needed 1 list in the end, so I got it working with this, but I was hoping for something more elegant... But this is good for now. paths = [] with open ('c:\\temp\\test.txt', 'r') as fin: flag = False for line in fin: if line.lstrip().startswith('label')...

python parsing question

correct. This is an input file that i wanted an easy way to pull all those directories into one directory. So I was going to use a python script to parse this and dump all the data from those directories to one directory.

python parsing question

Not homework, this is for work. My initial thought is to find the labels then do a split on the quotes, but i was having a hard time figuring out where to stop.

The 2015 Annual ATOT Income Tax Thread

Thanks for the feedback. First off, unfortunately it seems that because I refinanced with the same lender, I can't claim the remaining points this year. I have to roll those into the length of the new loan from here https://www.irs.gov/publications/p936/ar02.html: so according to what I...

So how are you liking Win10 so far?

Holy Sh!t! Why did I never think of trying this? I used to use the shift + restart all the time back in w98 days when it would do the soft restart instead of going through POST again. Never thought of trying it again.

Does running Windows Media Center on a PC ruin performance?

Depends on specs. WMC extenders (xbox 360s) shouldn't be CPU intensive, but can be network intensive if you're running 100Mb. Also, if you're running everything off the same HDD you might have some disk thrash that could cause slowness. Plex can be CPU intensive if there's on the fly...
