Hi All, If you notice the below example, case I is working as expected.
Case I: In [41]: string = "<H*>test<H*>" In [42]: re.match('<H\*>',string).group() Out[42]: '<H*>' But why is the raw string 'r' not working as expected ? Case II: In [43]: re.match(r'<H*>',string).group() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-43-d66b47f01f1c> in <module>() ----> 1 re.match(r'<H*>',string).group() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' In [44]: re.match(r'<H*>',string) Thanks, santosh
