Robb,
Can you give some more info? My first reaction is that it would make more sense to define new object types that hold the data (which hold their own methods to do stuff to the data). But maybe this isn't realistic... what are you actually trying to do?
OK, concretely: I've got a bunch of plain text files with ".txt" extensions on the names in a folder. A lot of them have formatting, though, where the text runs off the side of the screen, because there's no line breaks in the paragraphs. What I want is to wrap long lines when a user views one of these files. What I've got so far is: * An external Python method that will reformat a text file to a particular line length So, I'm just wondering what the cleanest way to process these .txt files on the fly. Thanks, Robb
