Hi, I am trying to use the following snippet of code to print a regex match.
s = '01234567890123456789x012' pat = r'(.*?x|[^a]+)*y' mo = re.search(pat, s) if mo is not None: print mo.group(0) By adding one character before the 'x' in the input string, the time taken to print the match doubles. This behaviour is not observed in perl. I am curious to know about the difference the in regex implementations of perl and python which causes this. Thanks
