Vlastimil Brom <vlastimil.b...@gmail.com> added the comment: Maybe I am missing something, but the result in regex seem ok to me: \A is treated like A in a character set; when the test string is changed to "A b c" or in the case insensitive search the A is matched.
[\A\s]\w doesn't match the starting "a", as it is not followed by any word character: >>> for s in [r'\A\w', r'[\A]\w', r'[\A\s]\w']: print regex.findall(s, 'A b c') ... ['A'] [] [' b', ' c'] >>> for s in [r'\A\w', r'(?i)[\A]\w', r'[\A\s]\w']: print regex.findall(s, 'a b >>> c') ... ['a'] [] [' b', ' c'] >>> In the original re there seem to be a bug/limitation in this regard (\A and also \Z in character sets aren't supported in some combinations... vbr ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
