Yes. > Or the string module has enough utilities to accomplish string > manipulation..!!! The string module is deprecated but (most of) its features are now found as methods of string objects. However these are not always enough fopr all tasks and thats where regex comes in. In my own programming I probably only use a Python regex once or twice a month, but in Awk I use them at least every week... So if you use python for the kind of things I do in awk then you will use them much more often... My tutor has a basic intro to regex, and there is a more detailed HowTo online linked from the python site. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
