In a file there can be several dictionaries like this
{Key11: Value11
Key12: Value12
Key13: Value13,
....

Key1n:Value1n}
{Key21: Value21
Key22: Value22
Key23: Value23,

Key2n:Value2n}
{Key31: Value31
Key32: Value32
Key33: Value33,

....
Key3n:Value3n}
.....
.....
.....
{Keyn1: Valuen1
Keyn2: Valuen2
Keyn3: Value3,
....
....
Keynn:Valuenn}
Each pair in a dictionary is separated by CRLF and in each dictionary
numbers of pairs can be different.
I need to read only the the first and the last dictionaries.Wh at is a
best solution?
Thanks

Who told you this?
In my python, they can.

You took his reply out of context. Fuzzyman asked him if *his*
dictionaries were to contain dictionaries, and the reply was no, they
will not.

What about (not tested):
stmFile = file(r"Path\Fil eNameOfTheFileW ithDictionaries ")
strFile = stmFile.read()
strLastDict = strFile[strFile.rfind(' \n{"):]
?

I recently tried out the Google "top coder" contest, as a C++
coder. I noticed immediately that they expected me to know STL.
To which I say, what the fuck?!
I may be missing something, but at what point when learning C++
was I supposed to have picked up STL? I ask because at every
job I've had, and every job interview for that matter, whenever
STL comes up it's not I, but a manager who says effectively
yuck, we don't use that crap.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
