Hi, I'm trying to delete contents of a .txt log file, matching on multiple re.sub criteria but not sure how to achieve this.
Below is an illustration of what I am trying to achieve (of course in this example I can combine the 3 re.sub into a single re expression but my actual code will have a dozen plus expression I need to match on so easier to keep them separate). Only the last re.sub will take effect in the example below I need all 3 to take effect. import re o = open(r"c:\temp\outputfile.txt","w") data = open(r"C:\Temp\infile.txt").read() o.write( re.sub(".*<X> ","",data) ) o.write( re.sub(".*<Y> ","",data) ) o.write( re.sub(".*<Z> ","",data) ) o.close() Thanks in advance.
