I've told you before: don't use regular expressions (e.g. the
"re" module). Stop using regular expressions now. Regular
expressions are way beyond your capabilities.
Use simple operations like split() and "in":
f = open('chem.txt')
for line in f:
if "C = " in line:
print line
You really need to work through a Python tutorial or two:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkpython.html
Better yet, take an couple introductory programming courses.
I'm a bit surprised that one could become a "Research Fellow"
in a scientific field without taking any programming courses.
