You can try the following two suggestions: 1. Try removing the "^" from the pattern and match only r"<img". I believe that the image tag might not be coming at the start of the string. 2. Try printing the value of "content" to check that the "<img" pattern exist in it. The match will be case sensitive, so even <IMG will not be matched.
On a sidenote, you should not be using regular expressions if you are doing anything complex that what you are doing right now. HTML is not a regular language. So, you will be better off using an xml parser (like lxml or elementtree) or an html parser (BeautifulSoup) -Sandeep On Saturday, June 30, 2012 6:07:13 PM UTC+5:30, mo.mughrabi wrote: > > Hello, > > am really a noob with regular expressions, I tried to do this on my own > but I couldn't understand from the manuals how to approach it.
