>From the docs: "Compiled regular expression objects support the following methods and attributes: match( string[, pos[, endpos]])" Your re.DOTALL is seen as start position. That's why it's probably matching 'MemFree' instead of 'MemTotal'. -- René Pijlman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
