Doesn't this do what you want?

DATE_TIME_RE =
re.compile(r'((\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4})|(\d{2}:\d{2}))<\/td>')

Here's a (surprise!) pyparsing solution. -- Paul
(Get pyparsing at http://pyparsing.sourceforge.net.)
data = [
"""04/01/2006Wednesday 09:1412:4412:5017:5808:14""",
"""03/01/2006TuesdayAnnual_Holiday08:00"""
]
from pyparsing import *
startTD,endTD = makeHTMLTags("TD")
startTD = start
Yes, it's easier to read without a doubt. I just wondered if i was
failing to do what i was trying to do because it couldn't be done or
because i hadn't properly understood what i was doing. Alas, it was
probably the latter.
Thanks for your help,

You can check len(sanesplit) to see how big your list is. If it is <
2, then there were no 's, so move on to the next line.
It is probably possible to do the whole thing with a regular
expression. It is probably not wise to do so. Regular expressions are
difficult to read, and, as you discover
Thanks,
The date = sanesplit[1] line complains about the "list index being out
of range", which is probably due to the fact that not all lines have
the in them, something i didn't explain in the previous post.
I'd need some way of ensuring, as with the pattern I'd concocted, that
a valid line ac
There's more to re than just sub. How about:
sanesplit = re.split(r"||", text)
date = sanesplit[1]
times = times = [time for time in sanesplit if re.match("\d\d:\d\d",
time)]
... then "date" contains the date at the beginning of the line and
"times" contains all your times.

Hi all,
I've spent all morning trying to work this one out:
I've got the following string:
04/01/2006Wednesday 09:1412:4412:5017:5808:14
from which I'm attempting to extract the date, and the five times from
into a list. Only the very last time is guaranteed to be there so it
should also wo
