RE function

[lily]

Hello,

 I need help. I am trying to parse some strings where I want to use the RE function. How can I find all the lines that start with '(object Operation' and should contain the word 'Trace' followed by ': {'  ?  

(object Operation...  

|Trace: {...}



... ))

I tried using the following code to capture all the instances of these patterns:

tracepattern = re.compile("\(object\s+Operation<.*?>+\sTrace<.*?>\)")
traceoperations = re.findall(tracepattern, operations)

Can you please tell me what is wrong with the above code? 

Thanks.

a newbie.
