I suggest that you work through the re HOWTO http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/ and by work through, I don't mean "read". I mean as each new concept is introduced: 1. try the given example(s) yourself at the interactive prompt 2. try variations on the examples 3. read the relevant part of the Library Reference Manual Also I'd suggest reading threads in this newsgroup where people are asking for help with re.
