New submission from Lottie Price <lpr...@parc.com>:
Problem: re.match("\\-", "\\-") returns None. I expected a match. Context: I have some random text strings I want to match against. I'm using re.escape() to ensure that the text characters are not interpreted as special characters: re.match(re.escape("-"), re.escape("-")) As a result, strings with hyphens are coming back as above, and are not matching. ---------- components: Regular Expressions messages: 337272 nosy: ezio.melotti, lprice, mrabarnett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: re.match() not matching escaped hyphens type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36206> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
