Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong in this
script.
I'm trying to get only the lines that start with
"This" for a text file.
Here's what I wrote:
>>> import re
>>> f = open('c:/lines.txt').readlines()
>>> for line in f:
match = re.search('^This',f)
if line == match:
print match
here's the error message I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#34>", line 2, in -toplevel-
match = re.search('^This',f)
File "C:\Python24\lib\sre.py", line 134, in search
return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
TypeError: expected string or buffer
Thanks in advance
