Hello everyone... I have a small problem...I'm trying to match a pound symbol in a document using Python. (Version 2.5.2, although I also ran this under 2.6 and it seemed to give the same result. But ultimately I need correct code for 2.5.2)
Here's the code: #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import re ########## This part doesn't work doesn't work right...but at least it matches text = "The Price £7" pattern = u"£\d" m = re.search(pattern, text, re.UNICODE) print m.group(0) ########## This part fails to get a match completely pattern = u" £\d" m = re.search(pattern, text, re.UNICODE) print m.group(0) Now what I would expect to happen is that the first half of the code would print out: £7 Instead it prints out: �7 Which is doubly weird cause it can print the pound charcter in the pattern... The second half of the code should do the same thing except include the space at the beginning. So I expect: £7 but instead get an exception. I've tried (I believe) every combination of using re.UNICODE or not, as well as quoting the strings with u or just leaving them as normal. Nothing seemed to solve the problem. Thank you for the help!
