i re-format incoming messages like this, command = re.findall("^\002(.{2})\|.*\003$", response)[0] it works well but when response comes with escape characters , my command variable crashes, i cannot parse if response variable is like , response = '\002AB|TIasdasdasd asdasdasd xzczxc qwewer werwer|\003'
ps:there must be \002 at the start and \003 at the end. thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
