New submission from Min <mamamia...@gmail.com>: Firstly, I wrote something like this:
patn = r"\bROW\s*\((\d+|\*)\)(.|\s)*?\)" newlines = re.sub(patn, "\nYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY\n", newlines) but if the file(or string) ended without the expected ")" the code deadlock there, no progress, no exception, and no exit. Then I changed it to : patn = r"\bROW\s*\((\d+|\*)\)(.|\s)*?(\)|$)" newlines = re.sub(patn, "\nYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY\n", newlines) to enforce the rule of end of file. then everything ok. I felt this is a but, coz RE should not die, it should exit if can't match. it is Py3.5 on ubuntu.
