In other words, if I understand correctly: >>> re.sub('$', '#', 'a\nb\nc') 'a\nb\nc#' >>> re.sub('$', '#', 'a\nb\n') 'a\nb#\n#' The first sample is correct, but the second one find two matches, even without the re.MULTILINE option. Is this normal? The docs say: > '$' Matches the end of the string or just before the newline at > the end of the string [...] It seems that it matches BOTH the end of the string AND just before the newline at the end of the string.
