hi i created a script to ask user for an input that can be a pattern right now, i use re to compile that pattern pat = re.compile(r"%s" %(userinput) ) #userinput is passed from command line argument if the user key in a pattern , eg [-] , and my script will search some lines that contains [-]
pat.findall(lines) but the script produce some error: sre_constants.error: unexpected end of regular expression how can i successful catch patterns such as "[-]" in my regexp compilation where input is unknown...? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
