Regular Expression: Matching substring

Sorry I should have said it up front.  I'm using Kudos (which I'm sure
uses re module) to test these strings on the pattern, and had the match
results as I stated.  (search() of course gives me true since the
pattern appears in the substrings of both strings.)
