Hi all,
I'm trying to do the following from within a code module:
import re
# text to match
text = "Good morning x something /x, how are you today x something
else /x"
# pattern to match
regex = re.compile("(x)(.*?)(/x)", re.DOTALL)
# find first match
m = re.search(regex, text)
# keep looking while there are matches
while m != None:
# substitute in some other text for the exact match
text = re.sub(m.group(), "Mr. Phelps", text)
# find the next match
m = re.search(regex, text)
print text
This works within the Python shell, but I can't seem to make it work
from within a program. It would seem like the re.sub(m.group()...)
would work fine as m.group() just returns the matched string
completely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Doug Farrell
