OK, I tried this one. I am actually trying to parse dhcpd.conf file.
def get_filename(self):
p = "^[ \t]*filename[ \t]+(\S+).*?host[ \t]+%s\s*$" % self.host
pat = re.compile(p, re.MULTILINE | re.DOTALL)
mo = pat.search(self.confdata)
if mo:
return mo.group(1)

Hi,
My string is a multi line string that contains "filename
\n" and "host \n" entries among other things.
For example: s = """ filename X
host hostname1
blah...
host hostname2
blah...
