#test.py
import re
# compiles under CPython, fails under IronPython
myregex = re.compile (r"[\\A-Z\.\+]")
if myregex.search ('aaaA\\B\\Caaa'):
print 'found'
else:
print 'not found'
-------------------------
I tried to run my Python script under Iron Python and this line:
re.compile (r"[\\A-Z\.\+]")
does not compile. I get
re.error: parsing "[\A-Z\.\+]" - Unrecognized escape sequence
\A.
To fix it, I had to go to 3 slashes, not 2 or 4:
re.compile (r"[\\\A-Z\.\+]")
This seems a bit counter-intuitive to me.
Thanks
