I probably should find an RE group to post to, but my news server at work doesn't seem to have one, so I apologize. But this is in Python anyway :)
So my question is, how can find all occurrences of a pattern in a string, including overlapping matches? I figure it has something to do with look-ahead and look-behind, but I've only gotten this far: import re string = 'abababababababab' pattern = re.compile(r'ab(?=a)') m = pattern.findall(string) This matches all the 'ab' followed by an 'a', but it doesn't include the 'a'. What I'd like to do is find all the 'aba' matches. A regular findall() gives four results, but really there are seven. Is there a way to do this with just an RE pattern, or would I have to manually add the 'a' to the end of the matches? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
