Hi,
Trying to start out with simple things but apparently there's some
basics I need help with. This works OK:
import re
p = re.compile('(ab*)(sss)')
m = p.match( 'absss' )
m.group(0)
'absss'
m.group(1)
'ab'
m.group(2)
'sss'
...
But two questions:

How can I operate a regex on a string variable?
I'm doing something wrong here:

f=r'abss'
f
'abss'
m = p.match( f )
m.group(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#15>", line 1, in<module>
     m.group(0)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

How do I implement a regex on a multiline string?  I thought this
might work but there's problem:

p = re.compile('(ab*)(sss)', re.S)
m = p.match( 'ab\nsss' )
m.group(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#26>", line 1, in<module>
     m.group(0)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'


Thanks for the newbie regex help, Lee

for multiline, I use re.DOTALL

I do not know match(), findall is pretty efficient :
my = "<a href=\"hello world.com\">LINK</a>"
res = re.findall(">(.*?)<",my)
>>> res
['LINK']
