Treehouse Guest TeacherDon't include the comma or the space. They're not part of the email address or the phone number.

Treehouse Guest TeacherThere aren't any tab characters in the code challenge, so you'll want to catch \s instead.

For some reason I could not mark or comment on your latest answer as they both became unavailable after I removed an initial comment!
Waiting for more exciting Python courses :)

22,237 PointsI still did not pass this challenge, and the word length one which I'll post in a separate question, though I went successfully though all the rest of the course.
Here is my modified code as per your kind answer:
Now I'm getting this error message:
Bummer! Didn't get the right content in your groups. Email: "kenneth+challenge@teamtreehouse.com, ", Phone: "555-555-5555, ".
I'm assuming it's the trailing comma at the end of each group content or just the phone group causing this error, I have tried many various modification to my code but none of the ones that gave a regex search object got rid of the trailing comma. I'm not sure what else could be the required groups content.
