Did you mean to write if s <= i < e: ? > m = None > break > return m > Your guarded search fails if there is a match after the rightmost bad position i.e. it gives up at the first bad position. My "guarded_search" (see separated post) needs the following done to it: 1. make a copy 2. change name of copy to "guarded_searchall" or something similar 3. change "yield" to "return" in the original Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
