Thanks, but I don't understand your point yet. Could you give me another example in which something is passed? BTW, to a previous reply post. I have learned ':' in regular expression. But I am still new to Python, I did not realize that it is the same ':' in the string search/match. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
