What about skipping the re and try this:
'start=|ID=ter54rt543d|SID=ter54rt543d|end=|'.split('|')[1][3:]On 27.05.2014 14:09, Vlastimil Brom wrote:

By default python treat "|" as an OR operator. But in my case I want to use to as a part of search string. --Hi, you can just escpape the pipe with backlash like any other metacharacter: r"start=\|ID=ter54rt543d" be sure to use the raw string notation r"...", or you can double all backslashes in the string. hth, vbr
