Hi I wonder if python has a function to pack things back into regexp, that has group names.
e.g: exp = (<?P<name1>[a-z]+) compiledexp = re.compile(exp) Now, I have a dictionary "mytable = {"a" : "myname"} Is there a way in re module, or elsewhere, where I can have it match the contents from dictionary to the re-expression (and check that it matches the rules) and than return the substituted string? e.g >> re.SomeNewFunc(compilexp, mytable) "myname" >> mytable = {"a" : "1"} >> re.SomeNewFunc(compileexp, mytable) ERROR Thanks A -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
