hi... trying to figure out how to solve what should be an easy python/regex/ wildcard/replace issue.
i've tried a number of different approaches.. so i must be missing something... my initial sample text are: Soo Choi</span>LONGEDITBOX">Apryl Berney Soo Choi</span>LONGEDITBOX">Joel Franks Joel Franks</span>GEDITBOX">Alexander Yamato and i'm trying to get Soo Choi foo Apryl Berney Soo Choi foo Joel Franks Joel Franks foo Alexander Yamato the issue i'm facing.. is how to start at "</" and end at '">' and substitute inclusive of the stuff inside the regex... i've tried derivations of name=re.sub("</s[^>]*\">"," foo ",name) but i'm missing something... thoughts... thanks tom -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
