Sorry, but your post just sounds too much like it's in the "I'm too lazy to figure this out for myself, just spoon-feed me the answer" category. How do you know you need the re module? Is there a particular problem you are trying to solve? Have you made any effort on your own before just posting this open-ended request? How did it go? Is it possible that your problem could be solved with something less exotic, perhaps some combination of str.find() and str.split()? It may be simpler to wield a rapier string function than to haul out the chainsaw of re's. Yes, re's are mysterious and cryptic, and there is a whole cottage industry of books and websites out there to help you compose your own special re string, filled with '?'s, '.'s, '+'s, '*'s, and many, many '\'s. Are you familiar with Google? Try searching for, um, "Python re module" or "Python regular expressions". You are bound to find many pages of introductory, intermediate, expert, exemplary, and diabolical material. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
