New submission from Dan Boxall :
Hi, I'm new to regular expressions and while playing around with them I tried
this:
>>> rex = '*New Revision:.* ([0-9]+)'
>>> re.findall(rex, text)
and got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line
Dan Boxall added the comment:
Thank you. I realised that and if I put a dot in front it worked fine.
But it should not break the function, so they will surely want to fix the
bug?
Kind regards,
Dan Boxall

Yes I realised that, as I said earlier. But it could say, "Invalid regular
expression" and not produce ten lines of error messages.
