I try to write a program, where the user can write a word or a name and I
will tell how many times the subject was mentioned in a text, I'm hosting.
I guess it's possible but not this way it seems?
The re is only searching for the word "name" and not the variable name
I'm using Python 2.6.6.
TIA
Tommy
import re
name = raw_input('Who would you like to check'? ')
mytxt = open("text.txt", "r")
antal = []
for line in mytxt:
if re.search("(.*)name(.*)", line):
antal.append(line)
print name + ' was mentioned ' + str(len(antal)) + ' times in the text,
