help required

Hi,

I dont know it is the right place to post this question. I need help to change one search code line . can you help me please.

here is my search method code:

search=re.compile("^#acl InternationalGroup.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if search:
ret=search.group()

here i am searching for "#acl InternationalGroup" in the pageText and when it true is then give me search group.

I want to change this for following requirement:

I want to search for "#acl InternationalGroup" and "CatInternational" in the pageText.
when "#acl InternationalGroup" is not there but "CatInternational" is there. then return me search group.

I shall be thankful to you for any help.

Waqas

Hello Waqas,

This is a list for the development *of* Python, not for development with
Python. More appropriate lists, where hopefully there will be lots of
people willing to help you, are python-list and python-tutor:

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Or the google groups gateway for the Python-list (comp.lang.python):

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/topics

All the best,

Michael Foord

I'm not clear whether you want the search to succeed if pageText
contains either, or if pageText contains "CatInternational" but not
"#acl InternationalGroup".

Whichever you want, you could use 2 simple separate regular expressions
or 1 more complicated regular expression.

Search for either:

search = re.compile("^#acl InternationalGroup.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if not search:
search = re.compile("^CatInternational.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if search:
ret = search.group()

Search for one but not the other:

search = re.compile("^CatInternational.*\n", re.M).search(pagetext)
if search:
search_2 = re.compile("^#acl InternationalGroup.*\n",
re.M).search(pagetext)
if not search_2:
ret = search.group()
