Hello all, I am having some difficulties with the non-capturing grouping in python regular expression module.
Even the code from the online documentation (http://docs.python.org/ howto/regex.html#non-capturing-and-named-groups) does not seem to work. As per the docs given in the link above this should happen (text copied from the page): >>> m = re.match("([abc])+", "abc") >>> m.groups() ('c',) >>> m = re.match("(?:[abc])+", "abc") >>> m.groups() () BUT, this is what I get: >>> m = re.match("([abc])+", "abc") >>> m.group() 'abc' >>> m = re.match("(?:[abc])+", "abc") >>> m.group() 'abc' I am using python 2.6 on opensuse 11.1. Any one know what I might be doing wrong? Or is this a bug? Thank you VB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
