By saying broken, do you mean that this regex r'Searching for OPUSH on([^\.\n\r]+)|Channel:([^\r\n]*)' follows the pathological case of exponential complexity ? From what I have learned such complexities occur due to nested repetitions, and the one mentioned above does not seem to have that complexity. Does it ? _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
