Thank you Dan for answering.<br>
<br>
I ended with this and gave up with shlex:<br>
<br>
split = ['-option1', '[get_rule', 'A1', 'B2]', '-option2', '$VAR',
'-option3', 'TAG']<br>
<br>
procedure_found = False<br>
result = []<br>
<br>
for token in split:<br>
if not token.startswith('[') and not token.endswith(']') and not
procedure_found:<br>
result.append(token)<br>
elif token.startswith('['):<br>
procedure_found = True<br>
_token = token<br>
elif token.endswith(']'):<br>
procedure_found = False<br>
_token += ' ' + token<br>
result.append(_token)<br>
else:<br>
_token += ' ' + token<br>
<br>
print split<br>
print result<br>
<br>
which gives the desired values:<br>
<br>
['-option1', '[get_rule', 'A1', 'B2]', '-option2', '$VAR',
'-option3', 'TAG']<br>
['-option1', '[get_rule A1 B2]', '-option2', '$VAR', '-option3',
'TAG']<br>
<br>
<br>
Sure pyParsing seems to be pretty simple but my constraint is to use<br>
standard lib (at maximum). To bad it is not part of python standard
libs.<br>
On the other hand, I will have to regroup expression like '-option1
$VAL == $CONSTRAINT'<br>
in ['-option1', '$VAL == $CONSTRAINT'].<br>
<br>
So it seems that I have no others choicse and have to use a parser
like pyParsing.<br>
<br>

I've not used the shlex module, but this feels more like an issue
to address with a parser than for a lexical analyzer - or perhaps
even both, since you're splitting on whitespace sometimes, and
matching square brackets sometimes.<br>
<br>
I've used pyparsing for stuff a bit similar to this.<br>
<br>
Or here's a list:<br>

Hello All,<br>
<br>
I would like to parse this TCL command line with shlex:<br>
<br>
'-option1 [get_rule A1 B2] -option2 $VAR -option3 TAG'<br>
<br>
And I want to get the splitted list:<br>
<br>
['-option1', '[get_rule A1 B2]', '-option2', '$VAR',
'-option3', 'TAG']<br>
<br>
Then I will gather in tuple 2 by 2 the arguments.<br>
<br>
I tried to the shlec properties attributes 'quotes',
'whitespace', etc...<br>
<br>
But I make 'choux blanc'.<br>
<br>
If somebody has complex experiences with this module I am in.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Karim<br>
