Would you believe "steps 3 & 4"?

Think about how well the above solutions scale as len(targets)
increases.
1. Make "targets" a set, not a list.
2. Have *ONE* regex which includes a bracketed match for a generic
target e.g. ([A-Z\s]+)
3. Do *ONE* regex search, not 1 per target
4. If successful, check if the bracketed gizmoid is in
I don't like string interpolation within REs, it pops me out of 'RE
mode' as I scan the line.
Maybe creating a dict of matchobjects could be used in the larger
context?:
dict( [(t, re.search(t+regexp_tail, file2) for t in targets] )
(untested).
- Pad.
