Because [] defines a character class in a regex, if you want literal [ and ] you need to escape them with backslash. [prev 0 , now 1] -> match any single character from the set "prev0,now1 " \[prev 0 , now 1\] -> match the actual text [prev 0 , now 1] Try these: re.search('[prev 0 , now 1]','p') # matches (p in "prev0,now1 ") re.search('[prev 0 , now 1]','x') # doesn't match (x not in "prev0,now1 ") re.search('\[prev 0 , now 1\]','p') # doesn't match re.search('\[prev 0 , now 1\]','[prev 0 , now 1]') # matches -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
