Hi All,

 I am working on a script to use re.findall,

But the result seems wield.


import re p=re.compile("\S+",re.M)

pirfile="""

DL;mm9| DL;petMar1| DL;cavPor3| DL;mm9|: """

for m in p.findall(pirfile,re.M): print m

Results:

|>DL;petMar1|

DL;cavPor3| DL;mm9|

The first result is missing some characters, Could you explain why? Any wrong with the script?

I tried Python2.4/2.6/2.7, the result is same.

Thank you.

Hongchao Lu
