Search for '*?' on http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html. To get around the greedy single match, you can add a question mark after the asterisk in the 'content' portion the the markup. This causes it to take the shortest match, instead of the longest. eg <%(tagName)s\s[^>]*>[.\n\r\w\s\d\D\S\W]*?[^(%(tagName)s)]* There's still some funkiness in the regex and logic, but this gives you the three matches -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
