Do you have an example of the input string which you're using? And exactly how the output is "wrong"? At a wild guess, you mean your substitution string to be: '<tr onMouseOver=\\1><td><a onmouseover="Tip\\2</td>' or r'<tr onMouseOver=\1><td><a onmouseover="Tip\2</td>' (note the backslash escaping). Oh, and don't use "input" as a name -- you're shadowing the builtin input function. -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" -- Arthur C.
