Greetings!

My closest to successfull attempt:

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.9.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

  In [161]: re.findall('\d+','this is test a3 attempt 79')
  Out[161]: ['3', '79']

What I really want in just the 79, as a3 is not a decimal number, but when I add the \b word boundaries I get:

  In [162]: re.findall('\b\d+\b','this is test a3 attempt 79')
  Out[162]: []

What am I missing?

ARGH!!

Okay, I need two \\ so I'm not trying to match a backspace. I knew (okay, hoped ;) I would figure it out once I posted the question and moved on.
