Q: re

[Hwanjo Yu]

Hi,

It seems that '|' is not working for the OR in regular expression.  For
instance,

>>> matchstr = re.compile(r".*homepage", re.IGNORECASE)
>>> re.match(matchstr, "http://www.my.com/me/homepage")

In this case, it returns the match object because the "homepage" is matched.

But,

>>> matchstr = re.compile(r".*homepage | .*~.*", re.IGNORECASE)
>>> re.match(matchstr, "http://www.my.com/me/homepage")

In this case, this should return matchobject since it matches the
"homepage", but it doesn't.
What is wrong here ?

Thanks.
