Why this regex for string literals can't handle escaped quotes?.... '"(\\.|[^"])*"'
See this... >>> string_re = '"(\\.|[^"])*"' >>> re.match(string_re, '"aaaa"') <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 6), match='"aaaa"'> >>> re.match(string_re, '"aa\"aa"') <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 4), match='"aa"'> How make the last match be the entire string '"aa\"aa"' ? cs -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
