Hmmm.  My post got cut off.  Here's the rest of it:


I'm pretty facile with regex's, and after looking at some pyparsing
threads over the last week or so, I was interested in trying it.
However, all of the beginning examples use a Word() in the parse

arguments to Word() are and what they mean.  I finally found the
information buried in one of the  many documents--the one called
"Using the Pyparsing Module".  If that seems like an obvious place to
look, I did start there, but I didn't find it at first.  I also
scoured the the wiki, and I looked in the file pycon06-
IntroToPyparsing-notes.pdf, which has this:

Basic Pyparsing
