slightly more readable: print re.findall(r'(auto|10+T-[HF]D)', instr) gives: ['auto', '10T-FD', '10T-HD', '1000T-FD', '1000T-HD'] Not relevant here, but really neat (I recently discovered this by accident): if you have groups in your regex, re.findall turns them into a list of tuples. > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
