I'm surprised it's been so difficult to find an example of the hash character in a RegEx string -- for exactly this type of situation, since it's so common in the real world that people want to put a pound symbol in front of a number.
It's a character with no special meaning to the regex engine, so I'm not in the least surprised that there aren't many examples containing it. You could just as validly claim that there aren't many examples involving the letter 'q'. By the way, I don't know what you're doing but I'm seeing all of your posts twice, from two different addresses. This is a little confusing, to put it mildly, and doesn't half break the threading. -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeest Herder to the Masses -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
