[issue30720] re.sub substitution match group contains wrong value after unmatched pattern was processed

[William Budd]

William Budd added the comment:

Doh! This has a really easy solution, doesn't it; just replace "." with "[^<]": re.compile('<div>(<p>[^<]*?</p>)</div>', flags=re.DOTALL).

Sorry about the noise.
