title: Python: PyParsing Module Parse Exception
body: <p>I am fairly new to python but previously had a log parser working, which is now giving me issues! A sample of the log I am trying to parse is:</p>
  <pre><code>Oct 18 00:00:37 
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have defined the initial parse objects as follows:</p>
  <pre><code>   #Define Parse objects
      Month=pyp.Regex(r&quot;([a-zA-Z]{,10})&quot;)           #up to 10 letters: lowercase a-z or uppercase A-Z
      Day_Of_Month=(&quot;.&quot;)        #(r&quot;(\d\d)&quot;         #digit, digit
  </code></pre>
  <p>As shown above, I had tried <code>(r&quot;(\d\d)&quot;</code> as the day of month object, but after errors tried to make it even more generic. Regardless of trying different variations and some searching around I still get the error below.</p>
  <p>Error Message:</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;pyparsing.ParseException: Expected &quot;.&quot;, found '1'  (at char 4), (line:1, col:5)&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>No doubt this is likely an obvious oversight, but I can't figure it out. Any help appreciated!</p>
