Hi all,Still trying with Python and programming in general….
I am trying to get a grip with re. I am writing a program to open a text file
and scan it for exactly 3 uppercase letters in a row followed by a lowercase
followed by exactly 3 uppercase letters. ( i.e. oooXXXoXXXooo )If possible
could you explain why I am getting "EOL while scanning string literal" when I
try running the following program in Python 3.
My program:
import
reregexp=re.compile(r"[a-z]"r"[A-Z]"r"[A-Z]"r"[A-Z]"r"[a-z]"r"[A-Z]"r"[A-Z]"r"[A-Z]"r"[a-z])
file=('///Users/joebatt/Desktop/python3.txt','r')for line in
file.readlines(): if regexp.search(line): print("Found value 3 caps
followed by lower case followed by 3 caps")file.close()
If possible could you explain why I am getting "EOL while scanning string
literal" when I try running my program in Python 3.
Thanks for your help
Joe
