Here's what I have so far: ----------- import re txt_file = open(r'C:\Python24\myscripts\re_test.txt') new_string = re.sub(r"' \+ ([a-z]+) \+ '", '%s', txt_file.read()) new_string = re.sub(r'$', ' % paragraph', new_string) txt_file.close() ----------- re_test.txt contains: self.source += '<p>' + paragraph + '</p>\n\n' Both substitutions work, but now I just need to figure out how to replace the hard-coded ' % paragraph' parameter with something that uses the group taken from the first regex. I'm guessing if I don't use it at that time, then it's lost. I suppose I could create a MatchObject and save group(1) as a variable for later use, but that would be a lot of extra steps, so I wanted to see if there's a way to do it all at one time with regular expressions.
