how are you viewing the contents of your file?
are you printing it out to stdout?
are you opening your file in a non-unicode aware editor?
try print repr(data) after re.sub so that you see what you actually
have in
Thanks for this but I'm still getting an "empty" character (I don't
know what else to call it) rather than the text captured by my regular
expression in my replaced text.
I even added the utf encoding declaration to my input data but still no
luck.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm hopelessly lost.
I'm trying to make a change in some XML files using a regular
expression (re.sub). I can capture the text I want to replace OK but
when I replace it end up with nothing: i.e., just a "" character in my
file.
data = re.sub(r'(?i)(?u)Sample
