[Tutor] ASP processing

[Nicholas Wieland]

Hello everyone,
	I'm trying to parse ASP embedded in HTML files in Python, for a 
little translator I'm going to use to speed the translation of a web 
site.
My problem with ASP is that I must parse the text between <% and %>, so 
at the moment I can't understand how to use htmllib and derivates, 
because they handle start and end tags, not the multiline text *inside* 
a tag.

Here is the code. It's quite unreadable and doesn't process the text 
correctly...

while(1):
     line = source.readline()
     if(string.find(line, "\<%")):
         while(1):
             asp = source.readline()
             start = string.find(asp, "\"")
             end = string.rfind(asp, "\"")
             quote = asp[start+1 : end]
             if (len(quote) > 1):
                 dest.write(asp[:start+1])
                 self.TxtSource.WriteText(quote)
                 t_dlg = wxTextEntryDialog(self, 'Question', 'Caption', 
'')
                 try:
                     if t_dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK:
                     answer = t_dlg.GetValue()
                     dest.write(answer)
                 finally:
                     t_dlg.Destroy()
                     self.TxtSource.Clear()
                     dest.write(asp[end:])
             else:
                 dest.write(asp)
             if(string.rfind(asp, "\%>")):
                 break
             if (line == ""):
                 break           
As you can see it's far away from being perfect, so I need suggestion.
I'd like to use a module instead of writing all the parser... do I have 
to use something like sgmllib ?

TIA,
	Nicholas
