Thanks Cameron, this worked.

Now I have this input data:
#D{#C[Health] #P[Information] -
means any information, including #ST[genetic information],
whether #C[oral | (recorded in (any form | medium))], that
(1)#C[Is created or received by] a
#A[health care provider | health plan | public health authority | employer |
life insurer | school | university | or health care clearinghouse];
(2)#C[Relates to] #C[the past, present, or future physical | mental health |
condition of an individual] |
#C[the provision of health care to an individual] |
#C[the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an
individual].}
The result of my code is this:
#C[Health]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]
The code itself:
import re
import tkinter.filedialog
import readfile
j = 0
text = []
content = readfile.pattread()
constraint = re.compile(r'(#C\[\w*\])')
while j < len(content):
result = constraint.search(content[j])
if result is not None:
text.append(result)
print(result.group(0))
print(text)
j = j+1
I know that "[<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10212ee40>]" is the result of
print(text). Does this mean that we ONLY found one match object?
What about if I want the code finds also this one? #C[Is created or received
by]?
or this one?
#C[the past, present, or future physical | mental health | condition of an
individual]
Is it because of the space and other characters that it doesn't match them?
