[QUOTE=sneekula;318529]Is there a reliable way to 'pluralize' english words with Python?[/QUOTE] there are some cookbook recipe in ASPN you can refer to. [URL="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/82102"]here[/URL]. they may not be wat you want, but at least will give you a head start

you do it systematically using the same way to read single level dict [code]d={'AAA': {'KEY1':'text1', 'KEY2':'text2', 'KEY3': 'text3', 'KEY4': 'text4'}, 'BBB': {'BBB1':{'KEY1':'text1', 'KEY2':'text2', 'KEY3': 'text3', 'KEY4': 'text4'}, 'BBB2':{'KEY1':'text1', 'KEY2':'text2', 'KEY3': 'text3', 'KEY4': 'text4'}, 'BBB3':{'KEY1':'text1', 'KEY2':'text2', 'KEY3': 'text3', 'KEY4': 'text4'}}} for i,j in d.iteritems(): for m,n in j.iteritems(): print m,n [/code] …

things can be that easy. [code] $string = "<TEXT> Some text Another text </TEXT>"; @s=split /<\/TEXT>/, $string; $s[0] =~ s/.*<TEXT>// ; print $s[0]; [/code]

>>> a = 'nf+nfpermult+nf' >>> a=a.split("+") >>> for n,i in enumerate( a ): ... if i == "nf": a[n]="1.0" ... >>> print '+'.join(a) 1.0+nfpermult+1.0

you are using the "wrong" approach to reading a file. use a for loop [CODE] f=open("file") for line in f: print "do something with ",line f.close()[/CODE]

use a html parser for this job, such as BeautifulSoup. If you don't want to, then another way is to read the whole html, split on "</div>", go through each element in the list, check for "<div class="info-content">", if found, replace it will null. You will get your string

no need to use regex 1) split on "</a>" 2) go through list, check of List?ratings. 3) get index of ">, 4) print [code] >>> string = '''<a href="/ratings_explained">weighted average</a> vote of <a href="/List?ratings=7">7.2</a> / 10</p><p>''' >>> for i in string.split("</a>"): ... if "List?ratings" in i: ... print i[ i.rindex('">')+2 …
