Hi, The following code snippet is from /usr/bin/rpl. I would like the it to match a word, for example, "abc" in ":abc:". But the current one would not match "abc" in ":abc:". I tried to modify it myself. Would you please let me know what is the corrected way to do it?
Thanks, Peng if opts.whole_words: regex = re.compile(r"(?:(?<=\s)|^)" + re.escape(old_str) + r"(?=\s| $)", opts.ignore_case and re.I or 0) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
