Hi all,
I am using ipython.
1 ) Defined a string.
In [88]: print string
foo foobar
2) compiled the string to grab the "foo" word.
In [89]: reg = re.compile("foo",re.IGNORECASE)
3) Now i am trying to match .
In [90]: match = reg.match(string)
4) Now i print it.
In [93]: print match.group()

One other tip: "for" loops are usually more practical when you know
exactly how many times you want to loop (100 coin flips). "while"
loops are usually more prac
