Hi, I have a html text stored as a string. Now I want to go through this string and find all 6 digit numbers and make links from them. Im using re.sub and for some reason its not picking up the previously matched condition. Am I doing something wrong? This is what my code looks like: htmlStr = re.sub('(?P<id>\d{6})','<a href=\"http://linky.com/(?P=id).html\">(?P=id)</a>',htmlStr) It seems that it replaces it alright, but it replaces it literally. Am I not escaping certain characters? Thanks again for the help. Cheers
