Sorry about my previous mail,

It was early in the morning and I jumped too fast to conclusion without reading the code properly,...

Did the first riddle also, very nice way to revise regular expressions!

I'll leave the second one for later but reading the description, I am puzzled by a definition:

def cypher(text, keyword, direction=1):
    if direction < 0: direction = -1
    else: direction = 1It looks like the direction will never alternate between 1 and -1. I suppose this is a bug, isn't it?
Thanks anyway, your riddles have a "I-want-to-know-whats-next" flavor.

Eric.

For those interested in <b>programming riddles</b>, I would like to
announce a new programming challenge I'm just launching at
http://software.challenge.googlepages.com

This challenge is in its early stage and thus set to be continuously
improved.

I would be especially interested in your comments and feedbacks about
this initiative and its relevance.

Enjoy!

Thierry

Oops, I'm catching up on my list reading and didn't see your follow-up post. I'm still curious if you have solved #2 however.
