"myexpression" won't return "AZBaCTR" for any kind of input, so I'm not sure what "of course" really refers to... > What function should I use? Or is it not a function issue? my guess is that you're using "*" or "+" in a situation where you don't really need them. cf. >>> re.findall("\w", "abcdef") ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'] >>> re.findall("\w+", "abcdef") ['abcdef'] </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
