python re.search invalid expression even though it works on PHP and various other regex matchers
- by nubela
Hi,
date = re.search(r'<td>([\x\d\w-.\s,()&\"]+|)<br><font',page_data)
I am migrating a code from PHP to Python, and am using this piece of regex expression on re.match, which doesn't work, giving a python error of:
raise error, v # invalid expression
It works on PHP's preg_match, and also http://www.gskinner.com/RegExr , any idea why this is happening? Thanks!
