How do I make this code print lines NOT containing the string 'Domains'?
Don't use regex, use in:
for line in log:
if "Domains" in line:
print line
This does not work...
if re.search != (r'Domains:', line):
Because you are assigning a tuple containing a string and a line
of text to a name which is currently bound to a function object
(re.search) which is not a sensible thing to do since you lose access
to the search function. If you really do need to use regex you probably
want:
if not re.search(r'Domains', line):
print line
But if it is a simple string you are searching for regex is overkill
and probably slower than using in.
