Sorry I should have said it up front. I'm using Kudos (which I'm sure uses re module) to test these strings on the pattern, and had the match results as I stated. (search() of course gives me true since the pattern appears in the substrings of both strings.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
