[Tutor] Newbie: Passing variable into re.compile

[Jerome Jabson]

Hello,

 

I’m having trouble trying to pass a variable into
re.compile(), using the “r” option. Let’s say I
have the following:

 

import re

arg1 = ‘10”

p = re.compile(r + arg1 + '\.(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)')

 

This works if I do:

 

p = re.compile(r ‘10\.(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)')

 

Is there something special I need to do for the
“r” option? Like escape it when using a variable?

 

Thanks,
Jerome
