Ok. First off, I am fairly new to Python. So don't flame me if there is a
very obvious solution =)
I am trying to work with a file -- for lack of better terms, a database. The
data is like this:
data|data|data|data
and so on as needed. My question: how do I extract each part of data from
between the " | " (none of the data has fixed lengths), and put it in a list
where I can do some work with it? Changing the database format itself is not
an option, though. Any ideas?
