You shouldn't be asking questions about using Python on python-dev -- this list is for development of Python. Your problem is easily explained however: the second argument to p.findall() should be an offset, not a flag set. (You are confusing re.findall() and p.findall().) --Guido On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 4:32 PM, Lu, Hongchao (UI Health Care) < luhon@healthcare.uiowa.edu> wrote:
Hi All,
I am working on a script to use re.findall,
But the result seems wield.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
import re
p=re.compile("\S+",re.M)
pirfile="""
DL;mm9|
DL;petMar1|
DL;cavPor3|
DL;mm9|:
"""
for m in p.findall(pirfile,re.M):
print m
Results:
|
DL;petMar1|
DL;cavPor3|
DL;mm9|
The first result is missing some characters, Could you explain why? Any wrong with the script?
I tried Python2.4/2.6/2.7, the result is same.
Thank you.
