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.

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...

What's a good Line Graph Maker I can use for free? Office 2007 ain't got it.

In not at a PC right now but I think excel has best fit lines or trends in the graphs. Either that or I think you can use the linest function to estimate a line and graph that.

Windows Easy Transfer gone in 8.1

That's because the idea with Win 8.1 (like it or not) is to have all that data synced to the cloud so that any PC you log into via your MS account will pull all that data with it.
