More documentaton is below, but here is a quick guide to what
they do. Optional arguments are marked by brackets.
-find_token(lines, token, start[, end[, ignorews]]):
+find_token(lines, token[, start[, end[, ignorews]]]):
Returns the first line i, start <= i < end, on which
token is found at the beginning. Returns -1 if not
found.
in whitespace do not count, except that there must be no
extra whitespace following token itself.
-find_token_exact(lines, token, start[, end]):
+find_token_exact(lines, token[, start[, end]]]):
As find_token, but with ignorews set to True.
-find_tokens(lines, tokens, start[, end[, ignorews]]):
+find_tokens(lines, tokens[, start[, end[, ignorews]]]):
Returns the first line i, start <= i < end, on which
one of the tokens in tokens is found at the beginning.
Returns -1 if not found.
in whitespace do not count, except that there must be no
extra whitespace following token itself.
-find_tokens_exact(lines, token, start[, end]):
+find_tokens_exact(lines, token[, start[, end]]):
As find_tokens, but with ignorews True.
find_token_backwards(lines, token, start):
find_tokens_backwards(lines, tokens, start):
As before, but look backwards.
+find_substring(lines, sub[, start[, end]]) -> int
+ As find_token, but sub may be anywhere in the line.
+
find_re(lines, rexp, start[, end]):
As find_token, but rexp is a regular expression object,
so it has to be passed as e.g.: re.compile(r'...').
get_bool_value(lines, token[, start[, end[, default, delete]]]]):
Like get_value, but returns a boolean.
-del_token(lines, token, start[, end]):
+set_bool_value(lines, token, value[, start[, end]]):
+ Find `token` in `lines[start:end]` and set to boolean value bool(`value`).
+ Return old value. Raise ValueError if token is not in lines.
+
+del_token(lines, token[, start[, end]]):
Like find_token, but deletes the line if it finds one.
Returns True if a line got deleted, otherwise False.
+ Use get_* with the optional argument "delete=True", if you want to
+ get and delete a token.
+
find_beginning_of(lines, i, start_token, end_token):
Here, start_token and end_token are meant to be a matching
pair, like "\\begin_layout" and "\\end_layout". We look for
whitespace are ignored, but there must be whitespace following
token itself.
