I'm sorry for my typo the string var suppose to be like this str = "wr:\n one bunny \n two bunny \n wr:\n three bunny \n So every match string "wr:" should had "+" in front of it line the one that confuse me is that my function work in django/python shell, but this regex doesn't work well if i called it from views.py of my django app So the problem that I faced is that, how come when using django/python shell. my regex work but not if I put in on my views.py Any hint?
