[issue12130] regex 0.1.20110514 findall overlapped not working with 'start of string' expression

[Julian]

New submission from Julian <jcerruti at gmail.com>:

Trying to use regex 0.1.2011051 with the overlapped=True feature

It works great, unless I have the 'start of string' (caret) character in my regular expression:


>>> regex.findall(r"a.*b","abadalaba",overlapped=True)
['abadalab', 'adalab', 'alab', 'ab']
>>> regex.findall(r"^a.*b","abadalaba",overlapped=True)
['abadalab']
