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
