Your method is still more elegant |
i also needed this periodically, good to have it brought up again.
a question for anyone who might know: my main tool is a text editor with a python regex interpreter. regular-expressions.info says that
"The only significant features missing from Python's regex syntax are atomic grouping, possessive quantifiers and Unicode properties."
am i right to understand that this pattern \p{L} falls under the category of unicode properties, and is not supported by python interpreters?
as an aside, i realize it's been mentioned in other threads, but it really would be great to have a forum for regex on MR, or a place to organize regex snippets to avoid having to look through this monster thread.
