(original) (raw)

Hello list.

 

I'm trying to get the following code to work:

 

def getlog(activity,type,endtype):
    log = open("Multivert\_Log.txt","r")
    for line in log.readlines():
        ac = re.compile(activity)
        fac = re.findall(ac, line)
        if fac:
            print line
            break
        else:
            print "Uh-oh."
    log.close()
    logagain = open("Multivert\_Log.txt","r")
    ty = re.compile(type)
    fty = re.findall(ty,line)
    for line in logagain.readlines():
        if not fty:
            fty = re.findall(ty,line)
        elif fty:
            print line
            break
    logagain.close()
    ex = re.compile("\\d")
    fex = re.findall(ex,line)
    logain = open("Multivert\_Log.txt","r")
    for line in logain.readlines():
        if not fex:
            fex = re.findall(ex,line)
        elif fex:
            print line
            break

If, for example, \[readlines():\] returns:

 

"CALCULATION

 

 

 

 

 

EXPONENTS

 

 

 

1 \*\* 1 = 1

",

the code poduces:

 

"CALCULATION

 

 

 

"

 

Any suggestions as to how to go about this, as well as to why the program behaves this way, are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance,

Orri
