jack_george,

It would be more appropriate to post such a question to a more python-specific support forum, whereas this scripting forum is specific to the context of SecureCRT's API and other automation specific to VanDyke Software products.

If resources become available in the future that will allow us looking into your regular expression inquiry, we'll be happy to help.

In the mean time, is there anyone in the forum community that can assist jack_george with his regular expression inquiry?
