Hi, I'm trying to use a regular expression to match a string containing a # (basically i'm looking for #include ...)
I don't seem to manage to write a regular expression that matches this. My (probably to naive) approach is: p = re.compile(r'\b#include\b) I also tried p = re.compile(r'\b\#include\b) in a futile attempt to use a backslash as escape character before the # None of the above return a match for a string like "#include <stdio>". I know a # is used for comments, hence my attempt to escape it... Any suggestion on how to get a regular expression to find a #? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
