I did not receive any answers from the Tutor list, so I thought I'd ask
here. If an answer was posted to the Tutor list, it never made it to my
inbox. Thanks to all that responded.
Okay, the following is taken directly from Peter's reply to you. Please
don't shoot the messenger :)
You can reference a group in the regex with \N, e. g.:
>>> text = """"banner option delim
... banner text
... banner text
... banner text
... delim
... """
>>> re.compile(r"banner\s+(\w+)\s+(\S+)\s+(.+?)\2", re.MULTILINE |
re.DOTALL).findall(text)
[('option', 'delim', 'banner text\nbanner text\nbanner text\n')]
