Regex not specific enough

[Clunk_Head]

Try this regex:

reg = r'"GET \S+'

This makes a lot of sense to me. I read this as after the string '"GET ', return the first string of characters of size one or more until a space is hit. Is it possible to have this method return the second quotation mark?

I would use a non-greedy regex:

re.findall('\"GET .+?\"', entry)

Regexes by default will get as much as possible, returning the largest possible match (they're greedy). The ? makes things like + and * stop at the first possible match.

As usual, ichabod, you have great advise. Unlike DeaD_EyE's solution yours returns the second quotation mark. My follow up question. Is there a situation where your solution would return a different solution than DeaD_EyE's? Other than the second quotation mark, that is.

Thanks to you both.
