Hi,
I learn this short Python code from:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_reg_expressions.htm
but I still do not decipher the meaning in its line, even after read its command
explanation.
It says that:
re.M:
Makes $ match the end of a line (not just the end of the string) and makes ^
match the start of any line (not just the start of the string).
More specific, what does 're.M' means?
I have tried several other modification to the searchObj line, without clue yet.
Could you explain re.M and the following two searchObj mechanisms?
Thanks,
import re
line = "Cats are smarter than dogs";
searchObj = re.search( r'(.*) (.*?) .*', line, re.M|re.I)
# searchObj = re.search( r'(.*) (.*?) .*', line, re.M|re.I)
if searchObj:
print "searchObj.group() : ", searchObj.group()
print "searchObj.group(1) : ", searchObj.group(1)
print "searchObj.group(2) : ", searchObj.group(2)
else:
print "Nothing found!!"
The answer is on the first link that I sent you yesterday afternoon,
that's 06/07/2014 15:25 BST. Was the email not delivered or did you not
bother to read it?
