Hey, all;
The print suggestion was the key clue. Turned out my loop was slurping the
whole of data in one big line. Searching for a line that begins with Name when
it's in the middle of the string is... obviously not going to work so well.
Took me a bit to get that working and, once I did, I

The old JWZ quote instantly comes to mind...

Hey
This one seems like it should be easy but I'm not getting the expected results.
I have a chunk of data over which I can iterate line by line and print out the
expected results:
for l in q.findall(data):
# if re.match(r'(Name|")', l):
# continue
print(l)
$ ./testies.py | wc -l
Hey, all;
thanks for the replies - reading data in one slurp vs line by line was the
issue. In my perl programs, when reading files, I generally do it all in one
swell foop and will probably end up doing so again in this case due to the
layout of the text; but, that's my issue.
Thanks again.

That should be a raw string:
r'"?[1-9]*\.'
Sorry about that. I wish Python would complain.

Perl has this feature of being able to use alternate delimiter symbols for the
pattern; Python does not.

Try putting a backslash in front of
