I'm sorry, burrowed into the reference until my eyes bled.
What I want is to have a regular expression with an optional ending of
"<br>"
(For those interested,
urlMask = r"http://[\w\Q./\?=\R]+";
is ther version w/o the optional <br> ending.)
I can't seem to make a string optional- only a single character via
[]s. I for some reason thuoght it'll be ()s, but no help there- it
just returns only the <br>. Anybody?
urlMask = r"http://[\w\Q./\?=\R]+(<br>)?"
From the docs: ? Causes the resulting RE to match 0 or 1 repetitions of
the preceding RE. ab? will match either 'a' or 'ab'.
