I think you're trying too hard here. Regexes for email are usually concerned with *validation*, ie checking in a form that the thing typed into the "email" field looks like an actual email. But that is not, or should not be, a consideration in a URL: at this point the email has already been validated, and all you want to do is to send it to the next page. So you probably just want to grab everything after the `thank` part: '^vote/thank/(?<your_email>.*)$' To be honest though, this is something I wouldn't even try to catch in the URL at all. Instead, pass it as a querystring parameter, so the URL would be in the format "/vote/thank/[email protected]" and you get it in the view as `request.GET['email']`. -- DR> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
