Pippo, please take a moment to trim the less relevant verbiage from the quoted material; it makes replies easier to read because what is left can be taken to be more "on point". Thanks.

You may want to modify your code to say something like this: if result is not None: text.append(result) so that you only accrue matches in your text list.Thanks Cameron, I added the if statement but I still get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/sepidehghanavati/Desktop/Programs/python/Python3.3/Main Modules/testpattern.py", line 24, in <module> print(result.group(0)) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
Certainly, that is to be expected; you're printing that unconditionally, even when "result" is None.
Put the print inside the "if"; you don't really care when result is None, and anyway you can't access .group when it is None - it is not an 're.match" object, because there was no match.
Once you're happy you should consider what happens when there is more than one "C#[blah]" in a line (if that happens; you know the data better than we).
