Jython newbie question

[Christopher Myers]

Aha -- I wasn't thinking about using Java string methods (Duh!)
Also, I didn't install Jython on my machine -- the interpreter comes
embedded in Maxq, so I don't really have the Jython interpreter to test
with.

So, how about using Python's 're' module if string ops aren't
appropriate?  Some of the string ops I need to do may require using
re's.  Any comments on that?

Thanks for the help.
