[Tutor] regex question

[Khalid Al-Ghamdi]

hi all,

I'm trying to extract the domain in the following string. Why doesn't my
pattern (patt) work:

>>> redata
'Tue Jan 14 00:43:21 2020::eaximi at gstwyysnbd.gov::1578951801-6-10 Sat Jul

2024::dgzxmb at fhyykji.org::1710781187-6-7 '
>>> patt=r'\w+\.\w{3}(?<=@)'
>>> re.findall(patt,redata)
[]

This pattern works but the first should, too. shouldn't it?

>>> patt=r'\w+\.\w{3}'
-------------- next part --------------
