Hi all,
What changed between 1:03 and 1:20 that made you post a nearly identical second message, as a new thread?
Unfortunately, I get no matches. From output on the command line, I can see that Python is adding extra backslashes to my re.compile string. I have added the raw 'r' in front of the strings to prevent it, but to no avail.
What makes you think that? Please isolate this part of your problem with a simple short program, so we can diagnose it. You're probably getting confused between str() and repr(). The latter adds backslash escape sequences for good reason, and if you don't understand it, you might think the strings are getting corrupted.
