Χρήστος Γεωργίου (Christos Georgiou) <t...@users.sourceforge.net> added the
comment:
As I see it, it's more like:
>>> re.search('a.*c|a.*|.*c', 'abc').group()
producing 'bc' instead of 'abc'. Substitute "(?<=^A)" for "a" and "(?=Z$)" for
"c" in the pattern above.
In your example, the first part ('bc') does not match the whole string ('abc').
In my example, the first part ('(?<=^A).*(?=Z$)') matches the whole string
('A***Z').
