Hi,
I have some trouble with the re-module. I tried the follwing Perl-style
regular expression with Python 1.6 (cvs-checkout 20000510):
[PYTHON (1.6/cvs-version 20000510)]
> line = '"(" XYZ ")"'
> match = re.match('^(?P<token>"((\\")|[^"])*")(?P<data>.*)$', line)
[/PYTHON]
I expected to get:
match.group("token") == '"("'
match.group("data") == ' XYZ ")"'
But that's what I got:
match.group("token") == '"(" XYZ ")"'
match.group("data") == ''
I tried the same expression with Perl an got the expected result:
[PERL (5.004_04)]
$line = "\"(\" Xbasdfz \")\"";
$line =~ /^(\"((\\\")|[^\"])*\")(.*)$/;
print "1 = $1\n2 = $2\n3 = $3\n4 = $4\n";
[/PERL]
[OUTPUT]
1 = "("
2 = (
3 =
4 = Xbasdfz ")"
[/OUTPUT]
Any ideas?
