problems with re

[Marc Risney]

using the urllib and formatting the resulting html, I seem to be getting an
error.

here's the rouge function

def scrubhtml(self):
  x = 0
  for entry in self.entries:
      tempstring = re.search(r'<h3>Search
Results</h3>(.*?)</table>',entry,re.DOTALL)
      if tempstring: entry = tempstring.group(1) + "</table>"
      scrubbed_entry = string.replace(entry, "\n", "")
      self.entries[x] = scrubbed_entry
       x += 1

I'm getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\py_libs\wip\chs\chs.py", line 115, in ?
    Run()
  File "D:\py_libs\wip\chs\chs.py", line 101, in Run
    g.scrubhtml()
  File "D:\py_libs\wip\chs\chs.py", line 71, in scrubhtml
    tempstring = re.search(r'<h3>Search
Results</h3>(.*?)</table>',entry,re.DOTA
LL)
  File "d:\python21\lib\sre.py", line 57, in search
    return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
RuntimeError: maximum recursion limit exceeded


any ideas??
