print [w for w in j.split() if w[0] == '*' and w[-1] == '*']
Wouldn't that only work if it was bug *car* jeff?
I can imagine bug*car*jeff would throw it.
Cheers,
Liam Clarke
x = 'bug*car*jeff*foo*bar' [x.split('*')[a] for a in range(1,len(x.split('*')), 2)]
When you mix * and spaces I will give up ;-)! Wolfram
