I have a text as follows: "#D{#C[Health] #P[Information] - means any information, including #ST[genetic information], whether #C[oral | (recorded in (any form | medium))], that (1)#C[Is created or received by] a #A[health care provider | health plan | public health authority | employer | life insurer | school | university | or health care clearinghouse]; (2)#C[Relates to] #C[the past, present, or future physical | mental health | condition of an individual] | #C[the provision of health care to an individual] | #C[the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual].}"
I want to get all elements that start with #C and are [] and put it in an array. For example #C[Health], I try with regex but it doesn't work: import re import tkinter.filedialog import readfile j = 0 text = [ ] content = readfile.pattread() while j < len(content): constraint = re.compile(r'(#C\[\w*\]')) result = constraint.search(content[j],re.MULTILINE) text.append(result) print(text) j = j+1 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
