TextFSM and german "umlaute" re.unicode option #49

Closed hendriklenz closed 5 years ago

hendriklenz commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I use TextFSM and want to use German umlauts like ä,ö and ü in the regular expressions. When I test the regular expression in an editor this works. If I use the expression in a TextFSM template, the values with umlauts are not read. Can TextFSM handle such characters (öäü)? If so, how?

I use that expression:

Value Required posten ([\w üöä.-]{28})

Many thanks and greetings Hendrik

I think it's because the regex module is used without the option re.unicode. Could that be the cause?

If so, is it possible to use the re.unicode function with TextFSM?

The problem is solved. I have used Python version 2.7. After an upgrade to version 3.7 it works now.

The current python-v3 pull request should address the issue for python2.7 as well.
