[Tutor] Regular expressions

[Santosh Kumar]

Hi all,

I am using ipython.

1 ) Defined a string.

In [88]: print string
foo foobar

2) compiled the string to grab the "foo" word.

In [89]: reg = re.compile("foo",re.IGNORECASE)

3) Now i am trying to match .

In [90]: match = reg.match(string)

4) Now i print it.

In [93]: print match.group()
foo

Correct me if i am wrong, i am expecting both "foo" and "foobar", why is it
giving
just "foo"

Thanks,
santosh
