As I said in the original post, at the end of those commands, the variable 'm' will either be None, indicating that nothing matched, or a regular expression match object. In the latter case you can use the Python re module's documentation (in particular, http://docs.python.org/lib/match-objects.html ) to see what you have captured. > I tried to replace the 'portfolio/foo/blah/' with > 'portfolio/web/web_project/' , but I don't see any "results" or erros > in the shell. In this case 'm' is None (have a look at the result of "type(m)" or "m is None" after the final command). The original regular expression you posted did not end with a trailing slash, but it did require to match up to the end of the line (the final '$'). Adding a trailing slash seems to improve things. That may well be your only problem if those are the types of URLs you are expecting to capture. For example, >>> p = re.compile(r'^portfolio/(?P<category_slug>[-\w]+)/(?P<project_slug>[-\w]+)/$') >>> m = p.match('portfolio/web/web_project/') >>> m.groupdict() {'category_slug': 'web', 'project_slug': 'web_project'} Best wishes, Malcolm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
