re grouping question

[Michael Esveldt]

I've got the following code:

s = """some text
 - foo
 - bar
 - fnord
test..."""
list_re = re.compile(r'( - .+\n)+')
print list_re.search(s).groups()

which produces, (' - fnord\n',) when what I was expecting was matching 
all the lines. What I'm really looking for is something more like (' - 
foo\n - bar\n - fnord\n',) or (even better) (' - foo\n', ' - bar\n', ' - 
fnord\n').

I tried this in perl and got the same results, in tcl it matches what I 
want, but who knows about tcl.

Thanks,
Michael
