Why it capture only "word", but not all the string

Question

import re

pattern = r"(.+) \1"

match = re.match(pattern, "word word")
if match:
print ("Match 1")

In Powershell the pattern above will capture all the string, because metasymbol ". " is captures anym symbol, so the

match. groups() should be "word word", but not "word"

Answer 1

Because the space is in the pattern. I understand you searching all characters on the left of a space. The result is "world".

Answer 2

There is a space in you pattern. What's append if you remove it?

Answer 3

So, this is the question, why it doesn't captute space...

Answer 4

I didn't see the space.... Thank you very much for the help.
