I am determining a regular expression that can recognize the any of the
following strings:
MAT file log\20101225 deleted
MAT file billing\20101225 deleted
MAT file util\20101225 deleted
MAT file carrier\20101225 deleted
I begin by creating a regular expression object so that I can reuse it in
multiple operations:
test = re.compile('MAT file
for log, billing, util, and carrier I use an arbitrary match:
(log|billing|util|carrier)
for 20101225 I use decimal digit with repetition match:
\d{8}
and finish with:
delete')
My question is how do I handle the backslash (NOTE: the match must only be a
backslash)?
