To reply to the last part of the discussion and esspecially to Gustavo Niemeyer, I really apriciate the way in which I had been answered. And I won't have any questions about the re module that I had before I post this threat.
I was frustration and should, probebly, not post this frustration. But it was never my purpous to ask something stupid or asking it arrogant. The python re module is, in my opinion, a non beginner user friendly module. And it's not meant for beginning python programmers. I don't have any experience with perl or related script/programming languages like python. (I prefer to do things in c) So the re module is completely new for me. If I upset someones clean mind posting a "stupid" and "arrogant" question, I'm sorry and won't post my frustrasion on this usenet group anymore. But thank you for all your help about the re module, Noud Aldenhoven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
