OK, maybe my communication style is bad or somehow 'Perl newsgroup-hardened' ;-) Of course, I'd like to really understand these things (as they were intended), probably modifying my look onto programming concepts then. Therefore, I'd like to have a usable and understandable example of Regex-object juggling, that shows clearly what its real benefit is (or gives an idea of - ). Afterwards, I'll surely try to deconstruct your assumptions hidden there in order to *get a better understanding* for myself ;-) Regards and thanks Mirco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
