why isn't re.search recognizing "file"? I can print the contents of "file".
import win32com.client import re D=MSWord.Documents.Open('C:/test/Test.doc') file=D.Content print file match = re.search('(Table ?)', file) if match: print "Table Number is: ", match.group(1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 21, in ? match = re.search('(Table ?)', file) File "C:\Python24\Lib\sre.py", line 134, in search return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string) TypeError: expected string or buffer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
