two or more whitespace regular expression?

[Aldo Cortesi]

Thus spake eugene kim (eugene1977 at hotmail.com):

The string "split" method does not take regular expressions
- you need to use the re module for that. Try the following:

import re
line = "a b  c   d    e"
print re.split(r"\s+", line)


Read the re module documentation for more information on
regular expression syntax. 




Cheers,


Aldo
