result is empty! Although it should have a content.
What is the syntax error?
I fixed the syntax error but the result shows:
[None]
[None, None]
[None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
No error but if I don't call the content I posted up and call this as a content: #content
= "#C[Health] #P[Information]"
result gives me #C[Health]
What does 'readfile.pattread()' return? Does it return a list of
strings? I'm guessing it does.
Try printing each string you're trying to match using 'repr', i.e.:
print(repr(content[j]))
Do any look like they should match?
If one doesn't, but you think it should, post it here so that someone
can tell you why it doesn't! :-)
