attrib is commandline way to change file attributes (like dos command). On a DOS command window do, "help attrib" to see the options.

fn = 'c:\\file.txt'
p = os.popen('attrib +h ' + fn)
t = p.read()
p.close()

>>> import re
>>> data = '115Z2113-3-777-55789ABC7777'
>>> ds = data.split('-')
>>> out = '-'.join(ds[0:-1] + [re.split('[A-Z]', ds[-1])[0]])
>>> out
'115Z2113-3-777-55789'

Maybe you need to do a line by line match in a loop and then line/line number shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure how much slower it may be compared to what you're doing now but you can e.g....

Maybe this will get you started:

If you want to be portable across *nix and windows, try something like:


import os
ps = '/tmp/my/path'.split(os.sep)


This will split the path into separate elements without you having to...

Without using lists:


#!/usr/bin/python

fh = open('nd.txt', 'r')
(page, nd) = fh.readline().split(',')
(last, lastnd) = (page, page)

print page,

Nothing radical - basically worked on your original code:


def getChoice(bottom=False, cap=False):
while True:
try:
choice = int(raw_input("Please enter your choice:...

You should indeed use existing/available python modules as you have many built-in functions available for exactly what you need instead of having to sift through output to do something specific....

Super Jumbo rats?

Reading this it seem the requirement is to only use GUI to prompt for the password and use sudo functinality. Have you thought of calling gksu instead of sudo - gksu is a gtk frontend to sudo? i.e.:...

You're expectations are incorrect. You are doing this:


test = []
mylist = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
test.append(SuperList(mylist))


And are expecting this:

Sorry, I know awk/sed was requested, but a python solution was so easy, couldn't help to post it:


#!python

(a, b) = ([], [])
(i,j)=(1,1)
diffchar=['.',':']

for line in open("sq.txt"):

Thanks. Actually, I realized that it should have been much more simpler:


sum([int(i) for i in list(raw_input("Enter integer:"))])


Sometimes the obvious isn't obvious to me :)

Here you go:


print reduce( lambda x,y: x+y, [int(i) for i in list(raw_input("Enter integer:"))] )
