[Tutor] string formatting question

Hello,
I'm trying to replace some strings in a line of text,
using some regex functions. My question is: If there's
more then one regex grouping I want to replace in one
line of a file, how can I use the String Formatting
operator (%s) in two places?
Here's the line it matches in the file:
<srm:socket portNumber="138" tcpORudp="UDP"
address="64.41.134.60"/>
Here's the regex:
m_sock = re.compile('(portNumber=)"\d+"
(tcpORudp=)"[A-Z]+"')
My replace should look like this:
\1 "112" \2 "TCP"
(obviously "112" and "TCP" would be varibles)
My problem now is how do I construct the replace
statement?
twork = m_sock.sub('\1 %s \2 %s', % port_num % proto,
twork)
But of course this does not work! :-( Is there a
better way to do this? Or am I just doing this all
wrong?
Thanks in advance!
