I seen a code which uses re.search() with anchor ^ instead of re.match(), but I never seen a code which uses re.match() instead of re.search(). It just won't work unless you add explicit ".*" or ".*?" at the start of the pattern, and it is a clear indication that re.match() matches the start of the string. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
