New submission from oliv <o_me...@yahoo.fr>: Using python 2.6.4 on Arch Linux
The regular expression syntax in python indicate: (?(id/name)yes-pattern|no-pattern) Will try to match with yes-pattern if the group with given id or name exists, and with no-pattern if it doesn’t. I used that functionnality but the code doesn't works anymore: import re myre = re.compile('(?P<port>[0-9]+/(tcp|udp))\s+(?P<status>\S+)\s+(?P<service>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\s*(?P<details>.*)') myre.sub('(?(<details>)\g<details>|\g<service>)',"443/tcp open ssl Microsoft IIS SSL") > The output is: '(?(<details>)Microsoft IIS SSL|ssl)' Instead of: Microsoft IIS SSL It looks like a bug as it was working earlier... ---------- components: Build messages: 100926 nosy: oliv severity: normal status: open title: re.sub doesn't handle properly matches with yes-pattern no-pattern versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8122> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
