Oh yea, I see what's my confusion now. In the first string, I didn't consider 11 and 0 matches the pattern without the repetition. Actually what I did is I entered the pattern and the test strings into kudos (a python regexp debugger) and got the match groups, which didn't have 11 and 0 as matche

You are right. In fact the procedure is as follows: The substr ``101101" is no problem, if stop here, match will successful.

Hi Kevin, You may notice that, for matching the regex (0|(1(01*0)*1))*, the left most three characters of a string must not be ``101" while not followed by an `0'. After reading the first `1', automata expects `1' or ``00" or ``010" or ``11", right?:) Kevin CH 寫道： > Hi, > > I'm currently run
