Hi all,
I've finally started using the powerful iPython and found out it doesn't handle unicode chars very good. I found this ticket - http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/ticket/239 - which is just what I'm seeing except I'm using hebrew and not chinesse...
I'm using version 0.1 (installed using easy_install) on OSX. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Benny

I would ignore the number of words, and focus on headers. With the headers, we
specify the part of the text we want; we use a capturing group to pick out
only the interesting part.

section_header = "MultiProgPage_Data <at> c2 - SECTION HEADER"
next_section_header = "beeper_FW_bg_Task <at> c2 - SECTION HEADER"
part_header = "RAW DATA:"

pattern = "%s.*%s(.*)%s" % (section_header, part_header, next_section_header)

Then, just extract your section

match = re.search(pattern, txt, re.M)
if match:
       section = match.group(1)

       words = section.split()
       del words[-1] # This is the '49.'  of the next header


You might find a reading of http://docs.python.org/library/re.html, top to
bottom, worthwhile.

Have fun,
       Shai.
