Matthew Barnett added the comment: '$' will match at the end of the string or just before the final '\n':
>>> re.match(r'abc$', 'abc\n') <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00F15448> So shouldn't you be using r'\Z' instead? >>> re.match(r'abc\Z', 'abc') <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00F15410> >>> re.match(r'abc\Z', 'abc\n') >>> And what happens if the MULTILINE flag is turned on? >>> re.match(r'abc$', 'abc\ndef', flags=re.MULTILINE) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00F15448> >>> re.match(r'abc\Z', 'abc\ndef', flags=re.MULTILINE) >>> ---------- nosy: +mrabarnett _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16203> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
