Ranger was a British weekly educational magazine for kids, published from 18 September 1965 to 18 June 1966, running for just 40 issues. It contained factual articles, and a variety of comic strips including the start of "The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire". It was quite similar to Look and Learn, and ultimately merged with that magazine at the end of its run. For more historical information, please consult the excellent Look and Learn Archive site.
Unlike the indices I compiled for Finding Out, World of Wonder, and Look and Learn, this index wasn't prepared from existing sources. Instead I created it by reading through the issues, so it's far from a professional indexing job. If (when) you find any errors, please send me a quick e-mail. Thanks.
Search the index using a regular expression pattern, printing the matching lines. A "-f" option includes the file name and line number of each match. A "-c" makes upper/lowercase significant in the regex; by default, case is ignored.
Some examples to try:
python search.py "first" # upper or lower case python search.py "Rob[a-z]+" # upper or lower case python search.py "Rob[a-z]+" -f python search.py "Rob[a-z]+" -c # case matters python search.py "(Spit)|(Mess)" python search.py "Stories" -c python search.py "literary"
Some output:
