I've encountered a problem with my RegEx learning curve -- how to escape hash characters # in strings being matched, e.g.:
>>> string = re.escape('123#abc456') >>> match = re.match('\d+', string) >>> print match <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00A6A800> >>> print match.group() 123 The correct result should be: 123456 I've tried to escape the hash symbol in the match string without result. Any ideas? Is the answer something I overlooked in my lurching Python schooling? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
