You have LHS = RHS where RHS includes all the following text *except* the very next word before the following = (which is the LHS of the next expression). Or something like that :) py> import re py> s = "a = 4.5 b = 'h' 'd' c = 4.5 3.5" py> r = re.compile(r"\w+\s*=\s*.*?(?=\w+\s*=|$)") py> for item in r.findall(s): ... print item ... a = 4.5 b = 'h' 'd' c = 4.5 3.5 -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons.
