Sure, I don't dispute that. There is room for both regular expressions and SNOBOL type patterns, IMHO, because the concepts are different enough. >-- but >there's a reason why Python makes it a *library* unlike Perl.

I haven't looked into it for a long time, though. -- Wir danken für die Beachtung aller Sicherheitsbestimmungen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
