Hi Folks,
I am trying to scan the lines in the string text:
lines = text.split('\n')
seemed to do the job but has the side effect of stripping the
whitespace. As I am reading Python source in this text and checking
identation this is a bit annoying :-)
How can I stop this happening? Doesn't look like an option from the
documents. Do I have to use a regexp (scary unchartered stuff for
me...)?
Thanks,
Davy Mitchell
