I have a text file of phone numbers, which I'd like to search with a regex.
This script works fine:
import re
fstr = "\sjoe\s"
regex = "^.*" + fstr + ".*$"
p = re.compile(regex, re.I)
f = open('phone.txt', 'r')
for line in f.readlines():
if p.search(line):
print p.search(line).group()
f.close()
But this one, with a different 3rd line, doesn't:
import re
fstr = "\sjoe\s"
regex = "r'^.*" + fstr + ".*$'"
p = re.compile(regex, re.I)
f = open('phone.txt', 'r')
for line in f.readlines():
if p.search(line):
print p.search(line).group()
f.close()
Is there no way to get it to work?
Thanks,
Dick Moores
