Hello, The following code returns 'abc123abc45abc789jk'. How do I revise the pattern so that the return value will be 'abc789jk'? In other words, I want to find the pattern 'abc' that is closest to 'jk'. Here the string '123', '45' and '789' are just examples. They are actually quite different in the string that I'm working with.
import re s = 'abc123abc45abc789jk' p = r'abc.+jk' lst = re.findall(p, s) print lst[0] Thanks for your help! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
