Hi,
I don't know if the problem I have specific to Python or it is I
misunderstand regexes. Here is my code:
import re
st='This is string. "With a quoted \\"string\\" inside it." A single quote
". Here is the end of the string.'
s='("([^"]|(\\"))*")'
pat=re.compile(s)
r=pat.search(st)
print r.group(0)
>>> "With a quoted \"string\" inside it." A single quote "
I expected:
>>> "With a quoted \"string\" inside it."
I don't see where is my mistake.
Thanks
