I would like to thank all of you for your responses. I understand what the regular expression means, and am aware of the double negative nature of the test. I guess what I am really getting at is why the last test returns a value of None, and even when using the syntax suggested in this quoted solution, the code for the last test is doing the opposite of the previous 2 tests that also returned a value of None. I hope this makes sense and clarifies what I am trying to ask. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
