Hi
the perl code finds a line that matches something like
tag1sometext\tag1 in the line and then assign $variable the value
of sometext
No, but if you use a closing /tag1 instead of \tag1 it does. You had me
scratching my head for a while there. :-)
This should do it in python:
Joel Hedlund enlightened us with:
regexp = re.compile(r(tag1)(.*)/\1)
I'd go for
regexp = re.compile(r(tag1)(.*?)/\1)
Otherwise this:
line = tag1sometext/tag1tag1othertext/tag1
match = regexp.search(line)
will result in 'sometext/tag1tag1othertext'

Indeed. I second that.

i have some regular exp code in perl that i want to convert to python.
if $line =~ m#(tag1)(.*)/\1#
{
$variable = $2;
}
regexp = re.compile(r(tag1)(.*)/\1)
line = tag1sometext/tag1
match = regexp.search(line)
if match:
variable = match.group(2)
Or, if you prefer
