[Python-Dev] Ask a question for a script about re.findall Modlue

[Lu, Hongchao (UI Health Care)]

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.


Hongchao Lu
