* Remove extra indenatation from sample interpreter session.Fred Drake2002-03-051-11/+11
| | | | | Remove whitespace from the middle of an inline RE example; it was OK for the typeset formats, but LaTeX2HTML is more touchy about this.

|
* Fix error in explanation of the interaction between $ and MULTILINE mode.Fred Drake2002-02-251-1/+1

* Neil Schemenauer suggested a small improvement to one of the example REs.Fred Drake2001-11-291-1/+1
|
* New section of regular expression examples contributed by Skip Montanaro,Fred Drake2001-11-291-0/+56
| | | | | with some extensions and changes from me. This closes SF patch #472825.
* Update obsolete e-mail address, and remove myself as a module authorAndrew M. Kuchling2001-11-051-2/+1
|
* Improved error msg when a symbolic group name is redefined. Added docsTim Peters2001-11-031-17/+18
| | | | | | and NEWS. Bugfix candidate? That's a dilemma for Anthony <wink>: /F did fix a longstanding bug here, but the fix can cause code to raise an exception that previously worked by accident.
* Use the \note and \warning macros where appropriate.Fred Drake2001-10-201-4/+4
|
* A regexp example was rendered asTim Peters2001-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | foo\d when it was clearly intended to render as foo$ Fred, is this a right way to fix it? If not, the earlier place in the same paragraph that does render as foo$ is also wrong.
* Plant a mention in the description of backreferences of the fact thatEric S. Raymond2001-08-281-1/+5
| | | | while \0 doesn't do what one might expect, \g<0> does.
* Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that theFred Drake2001-08-021-9/+12
| | | | | | | documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of RE concatenation. Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.
* Added an example of a string value for the replacement parameter toFred Drake2001-08-011-44/+60
| | | | | | | | | re.sub(). This closes SF bug #446136. Fixed description of RE modifiers so that RE{#} and RE{#,} are more clearly described and disambiguated (plain RE{#} had not been described at all). Reported by Jeremy Craven via email.
* Be more specific about corner cases in the description of the $ RE syntax,Fred Drake2001-07-231-4/+7
| | | | | | and include an example where the MULTILINE flag makes a real difference. This closes SF bug #441600.
* Fix return value for m.group() for groups not in the part of the RE thatFred Drake2001-07-121-42/+47
| | | | | | matched; reported by Paul Moore. Wrapped several long lines.
* Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these makeFred Drake2001-07-061-8/+10
| | | | | translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more difficult for non-native speakers.
* Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead ofFred Drake2001-04-181-10/+9
| | | | introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it.
* Convert several \seetext references to \seerfc and \seetitle versions.Fred Drake2001-04-121-8/+9
| | | | | These format somewhat better and include more semantic information in the source.
