I think most people who answered you calmly realized that it was frustration rather than arrogance and trolling behavior. This happens often if you're new to something and/or this something is inherently complicated; I almost did the same mistake when I had to mess with the loathsome autoconf/automake/autohell files and tools, but at least I refrained from the expletives. > The python re module is, in my opinion, a non beginner user friendly > module.

It's not the python re module beginner unfriendly; it's the regular expression concepts and syntax that the module implements. Read some introductory material about regexps first (Wikipedia is a good place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) and then get familiar with the re module by trying the examples interactively in the interpreter. > 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. It's always a good idea to wait for a few hours before posting anything you may regret later, but this doesn't mean you should leave this group; as you saw already, it's far more tolerant and civilized than other groups in this respect. > But thank you for all your help about the re module, > > Noud Aldenhoven Cheers, George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
