Cecil, feel free to ignore the rest of Rick's message. His messages are
famous for their outrageous and/or abrasive tone, something he seems to
revel in. Luckily, it's not typical of the Python community.
Or take Rick's 'rest' as a suggestion to reread Library Reference
chapters 2, 3, 4 and in particular 4.7.
As for your idea of an RE, '^' matches the beginning of a line, and '$'
the end, though using .startswith, and .endswith, are easier if no other
RE syntax is needed for matching.
