This short script was used to count the number of pipes in a line. I wanted to have 9 per line so the Dokuwiki table would be displayed properly, so this script let me know which lines were busted.
# Purpose: # Get number of pipes per line. The first line should be what you # want the others to match import re import os import sys game_collection_file = sys.path[0] + os.sep + 'game_collection_dokuwiki_list.txt' game_collection_fh = open(game_collection_file) rexp = re.compile(r"\|") count = 0 for line in game_collection_fh: count += 1 match = rexp.findall(line) if len(match) != 9: #print "Number of pipes on line %s: %s " % (count, len(match)) print "line %s: %s " % (count, len(match))
