Hi, Would someone please tell me what is going on here??!! Why does the following code work
>>> a=r"Mem" >>> pat = re.compile(a) >>> m=pat.search(ProcMem, re.DOTALL) >>> m <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7f7eaa0> >>> m.group(0) 'Mem' But this one does not!!! (Search finds nothing) >>> a=r"MemT" >>> pat = re.compile(a) >>> m=pat.search(ProcMem, re.DOTALL) >>> m ProcMem contains: >>> print ProcMem MemTotal: 8247952 kB MemFree: 5980920 kB Buffers: 417044 kB Cached: 703036 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 1440136 kB Inactive: 370668 kB HighTotal: 7405512 kB HighFree: 5977600 kB LowTotal: 842440 kB LowFree: 3320 kB SwapTotal: 8339440 kB SwapFree: 8339296 kB Dirty: 96 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 786672 kB Slab: 359208 kB Committed_AS: 2453912 kB PageTables: 24696 kB VmallocTotal: 106488 kB VmallocUsed: 8700 kB VmallocChunk: 96708 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
