Re: [Pyparsing] Salvaging a failed parse

Does PyParsing expose a method to convert this to a line/column like the
ParseException does, or should I just count up the CR's and do the math
myself?

Yes, pyparsing has lineno(loc,string) and col(loc,string) methods for
converting an absolute loc into line number and column number.  You can see
them in use in the body of this FAQ:
http://pyparsing-public.wikispaces.com/FAQs#toc2.  The line(loc,string)
function will give you the line of text corresponding to the loc value.
(Beware when using col() if there are tabs in your input text.  Pyparsing
expands tabs to 8-space tabstops by default so column numbers may end up
different than you expect.  Use parseWithTabs to change this default
behavior.  The html docs that come with pyparsing have more details on this
issue.)

There are also usage examples in
http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/linenoExample.py.

Sorry to not respond sooner, I was out of the country on vacation, and just
getting my head back together.
