Did not work

The line I gave you included some sample text which was being scanned.  You
needed to indicate the text you wanted scanned as the last argument:
	blah = re.sub( '\(([0-9]+) downto ([0-9]+)\)',r'[\1:\2]', blah)

> What do the sdfsdf do?
(It was sample text including the pattern being searched for to test the
substitution).

The last argument to sub is the string in which substitutions are to be
made.  Also note, you've got a lot of wordy code in that sample:

	p = re.compile('--.*')
	blah= p.sub('', blah)

Can be written as:
	blah = re.sub( '--.*', '', blah )

Since you don't actually store the results of re.compile, there's no real
benefit to using the wordier form.

You could also write the whole set of substitutions as:
	for pattern, replacement in ( ( "--.*", ""), ('^use.*', ""),
('\'include', "end.*"), <insert the rest of the patterns here>, ):
		blah = re.sub(pattern, replacement, blah )

HTH (I'm copy the Python List so others can get the clarification as well),

See the attached :

Run as follows:

./vhd2vlog.py frontend

this will generate a file called frontend.v

as you will see it looks like garbage.

What do the sdfsdf do?
