Hi all,
I am trying to write a regexp in python to look at a file (as a big string)
and erase all text before a certain word, then erase all text after a second
keyword. This sentence:
All this should be deleted <save>except for this</save>, so delete it!
would be turned into
except for this
I am not sure how to go about this, though. If I were using a batch-like
syntax, my string to match might be
*<save>
and then
</save>*
but the star character is used to repeat a regexp op, not as a wildcard in
the text itself. Am I just misunderstanding something here? Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from PC)
