Philippe Verdy <verd...@wanadoo.fr> added the comment: >>> re.match('^(\d{1,3})(?:\.(\d{1,3})){3}$', '192.168.0.1').groups() ('192', '1') > If I understood correctly what you are proposing, you would like it to return (['192'], ['168', '0', '1']) instead.
In fact it can be assembled in a single array directly in the regexp, by naming the destination capturing group (with the same name, it would get the same group index, instead of of allocating a new one). E.g., with someting like: >>> re.match('^(?P<parts>=\d{1,3})(?:\.(?P<parts>=\d{1,3})){3}$', '192.168.0.1').groups() would return ("parts": ['192', '168', '0', '1']) in the same first group. This could be used as well in PHP (which supports associative arrays for named groups which are also indexed positionnaly). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
