Yes, that's it. I don't know how long it would have taken to find that detail with research through the voluminous re documentation. Thanks very much.
You find things like this by printing out the strings you're actually working with. Not the original strings, but the strings when you're invoking `finditer` i.e. in your case, escaped strings.
Then you might have seen that what you were searching no longer contained what you were searching for.
Don't underestimate the value of the debugging print call. It lets you see what your programme is actually working with, instead of what you thought it was working with.
