Hi, The following is a sample of my problem. I get input from user and store it in variable 'b'. I want to match the user input with the contents of another variable 'a'. However I m not able to get the exact match. Could someone help?
>>> print a c c+ >>> b 'c+' >>> re.search(b,a).group() 'c' In the above example I want re to find the string 'c+' instead of 'c'. I want a solution without escaping the '+' symbol with backslash because it is given by the user. Thanks, ~Ashok. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
