The same way you pass anything into any string. Regexes are ordinary strings. If you want to construct a string from a variable t = "orl", you can do any of these: "Hello w" + t + "d" "".join(["Hello", " ", "w", t, "d"]) "Hello w%sd" % t "Hello %s" % ("w" + t + "d") "Hello w%(var)sd" % {"var": t} "Hello wSPAMd".replace("SPAM", t) or many other variations. Constructing a regex is no different. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
