You should do something much simpler ^_^ :
import re
s = raw_input("regex : ")
digs = re.compile(s)
[...]That should work :)

I'm just beginning to learn regex, and am wondering how to get user input that can be used as a regex. Of course my attempt below doesn't work, but how should I modify it?
I'm practicing with phone.txt, which is 513 lines, each line having a name and phone number, and some other details like an address and times.
Sorry for the dumb question.
import re s = raw_input("regex: ") digs = re.compile(r"s") for line in open("data//phone.txt"): if digs.search(line): print line
