Title: Signature.html

I tried that in the re test program (Perl style-re tester) provided with Pyton 2.4 and ... Ah, I used /. It works. But I also used \. Well, I see the culprit. I had one too many \d in: dateRe = re.compile(r'v\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d_\d\d\d\d\d\d\.\d\d.*')
Got it. Thanks.

How do I match a dot in, for example, abc.txt? I want to match it exactly.
There must be some sort of escape.


Assuming you want to match in a regular _expression_, use \ as an escape
and use raw strings.


In [40]: import re

In [41]: m=re.search(r'\.', 'abc.de')

In [43]: m.start()
Out[43]: 3
