Or take Rick's 'rest' as a suggestion to reread Library Reference chapters 2, 3, 4 and in particular 4.7. As for your idea of an RE, '^' matches the beginning of a line, and '$' the end, though using .startswith, and .endswith, are easier if no other RE syntax is needed for matching. -- Terry Jan Reedy
