<op> First point : this is not a string, but a list of strings. I suppose it comes from a file.readlines() call. If you want the whole file content as a single string, use file.read() instead - but take care of big files... </op> > Well, there really are two ways you could go about it depending on what > you are more comfortable with. > > One way: > > import re > line = '<...>' # all that stuff from above > regExp = re.compile('Request') > if regExp.match(line): > print 'I found requested' > FWIW, you could also hand-code a dedicated parser - preferably in assembler - then write a Python binding for it. > or you can use one of the string modules, Or just use str object's methods... f = open('mylogfile.log') for line in f: if "Request" in line: print "got one" break else: print "no Request found in mylogfile.log" f.close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
