Hmm - let's see. I tend to use regular expressions when I am writing code that needs to search through output to find certain patterns. I also use them to convert text in one format into another format. I also frequently use them to validate input - if I need input to be all alphabetics, or a properly formatted floating point number, etc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
