I don't know if it is really faster but here's a version that finds both words on the same line. My understanding is that re needs to parse the line only once. This might count on very large inputs. === Begin SNAP ## rewords.py import re import sys def iWordsMatch(lines, word, word2): reWordOneTwo = re.compile(r".*((%s.*%s)|(%s.*%s)).*" % (word,word2,word2,word)) return (line for line in lines if reWordOneTwo.match(line)) for line in iWordsMatch(open("rewords.py"), "re", "return"): sys.stdout.write(line) === End SNAP Regards, Francis Girard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
