backreference

[read-the-signature at send-spam-to-dev-null.com]

Hi all,

I'm struggling a little with backreferences in the re-module. I read the
docs and browsed the web but didn't find a solution for my problem yet. The
idea is simple: given a line with punctuation, separate the punction from
the word it is 'attached' to. For example:

    "Hello, how are you today?"

would become

    "Hello , how are you today ?"

I've been strugglin' with it for about half an hour. Guess it's time to ask
for help :) Any suggestions?

    Yours

        Bas
