You need to learn how to find this stuff out for yourself. Ben Finney
even gave you a pointer to a helpful site for experimenting with
regexes: http://pythex.org/


Cool. I also like this one, which hardly anybody appears to use:

python C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts\redemo.py

The functionality is virtually the same.



FTR redemo.py has been removed from Python 3 at some point.

It tells you to learn about regex.

Maybe you can't tell from the reception you're getting here: People are 
growing tired of your questions about basic Python behavior.  They want 
you to find a way to learn for yourself.  You're asking about regular 
expressions.  The Python docs have an extensive page detailing how they 
work: https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html
