A couple of points: (1) Instead of search(r'^blahblah', ...) use match(r'blahblah', ...) (2) You need to choose your end-anchor correctly; your pattern is permitting a newline at the end: >>> re.search(r'^[LRM]*$', 'LM\n') <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00B9E528> >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
