imageboards

Hey ^EXPERT _PROGRAMMERS
I want to make something that'll archive the imageboards I want. I know the text field is limited to 2000 characters, but what about the name/mail/subject ones? Oh, and how does it work with unicode characters?

I guess I'm still not understanding what you want. What are you getting the [9, 'e'] from? What exactly do you want it to return? It sounds like what you want is grouping, but I'm not sure.

>>> re.compile( 'a(.*?)b(.*?)c' ).findall( 'lakjlbjgcklfjaljgbkjgc' )
[('kjl', 'jg'), ('ljg', 'kjg')]

Oh, I see what you're getting at. You need to use groups in your regex. Here's a more succinct example with your strings --

>>> re.compile( "ab(.)c" ).findall( "jkf3ab9casabrtfdabecdf" )
['9', 'e']
