[Tutor] Regex to find files ending with one of a given set of extensions

[Dayo Adewunmi]

Hi all

I'm trying use regex to match image formats:
import re

def findImageFiles():
   imageRx = re.compile('\.jpe?g$|\.png$|\.gif$|\.tiff?$', re.I)

   someFiles = 
["sdfinsf.png","dsiasd.dgf","wecn.GIF","iewijiefi.jPg","iasjasd.py"]

   findImages = imageRx(someFiles)

   print "START: %s" %(findImages.start())
   print "GROUP: %s" %(findImages.group())


def main():
   findImageFiles()


if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()


here's the traceback:

$ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "test.py", line 25, in <module>
   main()
 File "test.py", line 21, in main
   findImageFiles()
 File "test.py", line 14, in findImageFiles
   findImages = imageRx(someFiles)
TypeError: '_sre.SRE_Pattern' object is not callable

 i'm new with regexing, please help.

Thanks

Dayo
