splitting file/content into lines based on regex termination

B

bruce

hi.

got a test file with the sample content listed below:

the content is one long string, and needs to be split into separate lines

I'm thinking the pattern to split on should be a kind of regex like::
<br>#45 / 58#0#
or
<br>#9 / 58#0
but i have no idea how to make this happen!!

if i read the content into a buf -> s

import re
dat = re.compile("what goes here??").split(s)

--i'm not sure what goes in the compile() to get the process to work..

thoughts/comments would be helpful.

thanks
