Hello, I'm trying to replace some strings in a line of text, using some regex functions. My question is: If there's more then one regex grouping I want to replace in one line of a file, how can I use the String Formatting operator (%s) in two places?
Here's the line it matches in the file: <srm:socket portNumber="138" tcpORudp="UDP" address="64.41.134.60"/> Here's the regex: m_sock = re.compile('(portNumber=)"\d+" (tcpORudp=)"[A-Z]+"') My replace should look like this: \1 "112" \2 "TCP" (obviously "112" and "TCP" would be varibles) My problem now is how do I construct the replace statement? twork = m_sock.sub('\1 %s \2 %s', % port_num % proto, twork) But of course this does not work! :-( Is there a better way to do this? Or am I just doing this all wrong? Thanks in advance! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
