This question is not working correctly.

I have been working on this problem for days now. When I work it in a workspace this code works correctly, but it keeps cutting off the last character of the twitter handles in the assignment. Please help. I'm dying over here and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

'''python contacts = re.search(r''' (?P<email>[\w\d+-.]+@[\w\d.]+),\s (?P<phone>[\d]+-[\d]+-[\d]+),\s [^\t\n\s,] ''', string, re.X|re.I|re.M)

twitters = re.search(r''' (@+[\w\d]+) [^\s\t\n.]$ ''', string, re.M|re.X) '''

emails.py
import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth, kenneth+challenge@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5555, @kennethlove
Chalkley, Andrew, andrew@teamtreehouse.co.uk, 555-555-5556, @chalkers
McFarland, Dave, dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5557, @davemcfarland
Kesten, Joy, joy@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5558, @joykesten'''


contacts = re.search(r'''
    (?P<email>[\w\d+-.]+@[\w\d.]+),\s
    (?P<phone>[\d]+-[\d]+-[\d]+),\s
    [^\t\n\s,]
''', string, re.X|re.I|re.M)

twitters = re.search(r'''
    (@+[\w\d]+)
    [^\s\t\n.]$
''', string, re.M|re.X)

Never mind. I got it after looking at some other questions about this exercise. Thanks anyway!
