Hi All,
How do I parse a variable inside an RE?
What is the re.search() syntax when your
search string is a variable?
It's easy to parse hardcoded RE's but not
if you use a variable.
Here is my code, input and runtime:
$ cat test45.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import re
resp = raw_input('Selection: ')
newresp = resp.strip()
print "you chose ", newresp
fname = open('test44.in')
for I in fname:
# if re.search('^newresp', "%s"%(I)): # returns nothing
# if re.search(^newresp, "%s"%(I)): # syntax error
if re.search("^newresp", "%s"%(I)): # returns nothing
print I,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] work]$ cat test44.in
a1
b1
g1
g2
h1
h4
4g
5g
h5
$ python test45.py
Selection: g
you chose g
$
Thanks...
