For some reason, I am having the hardest time doing something that should be obvious. (Note time of posting ;)
Given an arbitrary string, I want to find each individual instance of text in the form: "[PROMPT:optional text]"
I tried this:
y=re.compile(r'\[PROMPT:.*\]')
Which works fine when the text is exactly "[PROMPT:whatever]" but does not match on:
"something [PROMPT:foo] something [PROMPT:bar] something ..."
The overall goal is to identify the beginning and end of each [PROMPT...] string in the line.
Ideas anyone? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
