OK,
Hi Dave,
I modified it as below and it works....(If there is a way to make this more
efficient please let me know)
By the way I am using Python 3.4
import sys
import re
def extract_names(filename):
path = '/home/LearnPython/exercises/'
fullfilename = path+filename
print('fullfilename: ',fullfilename)
fileextract = open(fullfilename,'r')
#line = fileextract.readlines()
#print(line)
for l in fileextract:
#print(l)
texts = re.search(r'\d\d\d\d', l)
if texts:
print(texts.group())
#print(texts.group())
#return texts.group()
fileextract.close()
extract_names('NOTICE.txt')
Thanks,
Shiva
