Hi, i have a line that looks something like: 2.234e+04 3.456e+02 7.234e+07 1.543e+04: some description
I would like to extract all the numbers. From the python website i got the following expression for matching what in c is %e (i.e. scientific format): (see http://docs.python.org/library/re.html) [-+]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][-+]?\d+)? And when i apply the pattern (using extra parenthesis around the whole expression) it does match the first number in the line. Is there any way to repeat this pattern to get me all the numbers in the line? I though the following might work, but i doesn't: ([-+]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][-+]?\d+)?){numToRepeat) Or will i have to split the line first, then iterate and the apply the match? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
