Re: Program inefficiency?

It think he's saying it should look like this:

# File: masseditor.py

import re
import os
import time

p1= re.compile('(href=|HREF=)+(.*)(#)+(.*)(\w\'\?-<:)+(.*)(">)+')
p2= re.compile('(name=")+(.*)(\w\'\?-<:)+(.*)(">)+')
p100= re.compile('(a name=)+(.*)(-)+(.*)(></a>)+')
q1= r"\1\2\3\4_\6\7"
q2= r"\1\2_\4\5"

def massreplace():
editfile = open("C:\Program Files\Credit Risk Management\Masseditor
\editfile.txt")
filestring = editfile.read()
filelist = filestring.splitlines()

for i in range(len(filelist)):
source = open(filelist[i])
starttext = source.read()

for i in range (13):
interimtext = p1.sub(q1, starttext)
interimtext= p2.sub(q2, interimtext)
interimtext= p100.sub(q2, interimtext)
source.close()
source = open(filelist[i],"w")
source.write(finaltext)
source.close()

massreplace()

I'll try that and see how it works...
