Whenever I run this code it tells me it didn't find anything and there is no regex object. I don't know where I am wrong with my pattern..
import re
string = '''Love, Kenneth, kenneth+challenge@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5555, @kennethlove

41,118 PointsYou still need to search for the separating comma and space, even though you're not including them in your groups:
contacts = re.search(r"(?P<email>[\w+.]+@[\w.]+), (?P<phone>\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4})", string)

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 12,032 PointsTHANK YOU!!!! I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out!
I think you would need to include the \s to indicate space (since it's not part of a list), correct?
