I don't understand the question. What is "o/p"? What do you mean, "searching string"? The string you are searching *for*, or the string you are searching *in*? You have something that looks like a dictionary { } followed by an email address. What does that mean? If you expect any useful answers, you will have to give a more careful question. Please show some sample data, and expected result, using valid Python syntax. For example: text = """This is a large string. It contains many lines of text. And some numbers: 22477811, 40566595, 26947037 And more numbers: 32233776, 31052980, 70768904 And lots more text. """ target = "233" expected result: "32233776" -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
