That limits the number of valid delimiters to a relatively small set. You couldn't use any valid operator: x = r*a*b Is that a one character raw string appended to a string called "b", or is that to multiplications? >sed also allows for >arbitrary delimiters too as long as you maintain the integrity of the >original meaning... sed can do that because its commands are one character long. Whatever follows an "s" must a delimiter because it can't be anything else. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
