Don't use regexes for something as simple as this. Try find(). Most of the time I use regexes in perl (90%+) I am doing something that can be done much better using the string methods and some simple operations. Plus, it turns out to be faster than perl usually. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
