Should've looked earlier. Their master list of categories http://www.usdirectory.com/cat/g0 shows a few commas, a bunch of dashes, and the ampersands we talked about.
"OFFICE SERVICES, SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT" gets removed because of the comma. "AUTOMOBILE - DEALERS" gets removed because of the dash. I updated your regex and it seems to have fixed it. orig: (r"^[A-Z\s&]+$") new : (r"^[A-Z\s&,-]+$") Thanks again. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
