Dohh, after two cups of coffee ans several bars of chocolate I eventually mad(e) it ;-) In Python, you have to deconstruct the 2D-lists (here: long list of short lists [a,2] ...) by 'slicing the slice': char,num = list[:][:] in a loop and using the apropriate element then: import re t = 'a1a2a3Aa4a35a6b7b8c9c'; r = r'(\w)(?=(.)\1)' l = re.findall(r, t) for a,b in (l[:][:]) : print b In the moment, I find this syntax awkward and arbitary, but my mind should change if I'm adopted more to this in the end ;-) Regards, M. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
