Hmmm.  Can you state your problem in a different way?

I find that Python excels at string handling and I've never had to
write a pure character scanner like you are suggesting.  Not to say
that you don't need it, I just think that if you give us a small
example of your data and your expected outcome, it would be easier to
help you.
