Keep in mind that Python regular expressions are modeled on the grep/sed/awk/Perl model so as to be familiar to any sysadmin -- but there's a reason why Python makes it a *library* unlike Perl. So adding SNOBOL patterns to another library would be a wonderful gift to the Python community... -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ I support the RKAB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
