Hi,
I dont know it is the right place to post this question. I need help to change one search code line . can you help me please. here is my search method code: search=re.compile("^#acl InternationalGroup.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
    if search:
        ret=search.group()


here i am searching for "#acl InternationalGroup" in the pageText and when it true is then give me search group. I want to change this for following requirement: I want to search for "#acl InternationalGroup" and "CatInternational" in the pageText. when "#acl InternationalGroup" is not there but "CatInternational" is there. then return me search group.

I shall be thankful to you for any help.
I'm not clear whether you want the search to succeed if pageText
contains either, or if pageText contains "CatInternational" but not
"#acl InternationalGroup".

Whichever you want, you could use 2 simple separate regular expressions
or 1 more complicated regular expression.

Search for either:

search = re.compile("^#acl InternationalGroup.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if not search:
    search = re.compile("^CatInternational.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if search:
    ret = search.group()

Search for one but not the other:

search = re.compile("^CatInternational.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if search:
search_2 = re.compile("^#acl InternationalGroup.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
    if not search_2:
        ret = search.group()
