Just a quick remark: regular expressions are pretty powerful at representing alternatives. You could just stick everything inside a single re, as in '...|...' Then use the returned match to check which alternative was recognized (make sure you have at least one group in each alternative). > Is it possible to somehow test for a match, as well as do assignment > of the re match object to a variable? Yes, use '...(...)...' and MatchObject.group(). See the other messages. -- Alain. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
