Help with writing recipe

kiklop74 · 12-05-2008, 11:34 AM

I need to replace some character with another one wherever it shows in the downloaded html page but I'm unable to figure out how to do that using preprocess_regexps.

My idea was something like this:

Code:

preprocess_regexps = [(re.compile(r'Đ'), lambda match: r'Ð')]

This should replace Đ (Latin Capital Letter D With stroke - U+0110) with Ð (Latin Capital Letter Eth - U+00D0)

but it does not work since python complains to the presence of unicode letters in script.

I need this since fonts shipped with PRS-505 do not have first character defined (shows up as empty square) while the other is present and they look the same so it would be adequate replacement for better reading.

Thanks,

Use u'\u0110' (its the unicode representation of the character)

Great! That was it. Thanks Kovid. I'll now have to update quite a few recipes that will need this
