there's always the manual: http://docs.python.org/lib/node114.html compile(pattern[, flags]) Compile a regular expression pattern into a regular expression object, which can be used for matching using its match() and search() methods, described below. The expression's behaviour can be modified by specifying a flags value. /.../ S DOTALL Make the "." special character match any character at all, including a newline; without this flag, "." will match anything except a newline. /.../ </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
