Hi, Can someone tell me what the r before the expression means, as in "re.compile(r'(\.exe|\.zip|\.pif|\.scr|\.ps|\.pdf|\.ppt)$')"?
I've seen regular expressions both ways, and I've seen them work with or without the r. Just wondering what it does, or if it makes a difference. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
