grouping in regular expressions.

[kaevee at my-deja.com]

I am finding it difficult to match the ip address in the
following line using re module.

"       inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0"

here is the expression I used.

re.compile('\s+inet addr:(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s+.*')

I am not able to make out where i am making a mistake.

Tons of thanks in advance,

Regards,

kaevee
