it's not perfectly clear to me what you mean with 'doesnt work'.
The two if parts
> if re.findall(pat1,something) and re.findall(pat2,something):
> do something
and
> if re.findall(pat1,something) :
> if re.findall(pat2,something):
> do something
look equivalent to me. Could you please reveal your
value for text-string 'something'? Further I suggest
to replace the 'do something'-parts with 'print 42'.
Best wishes Marco
