find_anychar
|
find_anychar (
string,
chars,
index=None,
)
find_anychar(string, chars[, index]) -> index of a character or -1
Find a character in string. chars is a list of characters to look
for. Return the index of the first occurrence of any of the
characters, or -1 if not found. index is the index where the
search should start. By default, I search from the beginning of
the string.

rfind_anychar
|
rfind_anychar (
string,
chars,
index=None,
)
rfind_anychar(string, chars[, index]) -> index of a character or -1
Find a character in string, looking from the end to the start.
chars is a list of characters to look for. Return the index of
the first occurrence of any of the characters, or -1 if not found.
index is the index where the search should start. By default, I

splitany
|
splitany (
s,
sep=" \011\012\013\014\015",
maxsplit=None,
negate=0,
)
splitany(s [,sep [,maxsplit [,negate]]]) -> list of strings
Split a string. Similar to string.split, except that this considers
any one of the characters in sep to be a delimiter. If negate is
true, then everything but sep will be a separator.

|
starts_with
|
starts_with ( s, start )
starts_with(s, start) -> 1/0
Return whether s begins with start.
XXX should deprecate. Python 2.0 and above has ''.startswith function.
