I find it hard to find a good answer to your question because you give no reason why you want to reject the ('0', '0') result. Are you uninterested in 0 results? Are you only interested in lines that start with MEMR and so are not interested in lines where the MEMR comes later? In the first case you can write: print(re.findall(r'MEMR\s+\:\s+([1-9][0-9]*)\s+valid \s+([1-9][0-9]*)\s+free', str_output)) In the second case you can write: regex = re.compile(r'^MEMR\s+\:\s+([0-9]+)\s+valid \s+([0-9]+)\s+free', re.MULTILINE) print(regex.findall(str_output)) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
