6,028 PointsAlexander Davison : I understand the reason for \t being outside the group, but my dilemma is that if you look at the pattern for the job "([-\w]+,\s[-\w\s]+)\t? " the \t is outside the group , however if you see the sample output below you will notice that jobs have a \t included in them(the same is observed in the video): "('Obama, Brack', 'president.44@us.gov','555 555-5551','President, United States of America\t','@potus44')"
If you observer the job in the tuple President, United States of America\t has a tab at the end even when the tab is outside the group. I noticed that if you use ([-\w]+,\s[-\w\s]+)?\t as pattern for the job too then the \t is not picked up when job pattern is selected .

Basically the \t isn't part of the group.
