Hello Sybren,
To be honest, it looks very much like games from 1995...
You should notice: It's a first alpha version.
Freundliche Grüße,

Hello Roger,
I'm looking for a regular expression that matches the first, and only
the first, sequence of the letter 'a', and only if the length of the
sequence is exactly 3.
import sys, re, os
if __name__=='__main__':
m = re.search('a{3}', 'xyz123aaabbaaaabaaabb')
print
Hello Roger,
since the length of the first sequence of the letter 'a' is 2. Yours
accepts it, right?
Yes, i misunderstood your requirements. So it must be modified
essentially to that what Tim Chase wrote:
m = re.search('^[^a]*a{3}b', 'xyz123aabbaaab')
Best wishes from germany,
Hallo Alex,
r = re.compile([^a]*a{3}b+(a+b*)*) matches = [s for s in
listOfStringsToTest if r.match(s)]
Unfortunately, the OP's spec is even more complex than this, if we are
to take to the letter what you just quoted; e.g. aazaaab SHOULD match,
Then it's again a{3}b, isn't it?
Freundliche
