If *all* you want is the first element of the path, you can get that simply by splitting the string on / and retrieving the correct piece: In [28]: test Out[28]: 'https://www.localhost.org/testmodule/dev/trunk/admin/sql/mytest.sql' In [29]: test.split('/') Out[29]: ['https:', '', 'www.localhost.org', 'testmodule', 'dev', 'trunk', 'admin', 'sql', 'mytest.sql'] In [30]: test.split('/')[3] Out[30]: 'testmodule' Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
