Regex in Python
- by newToProgramming
SO, I am trying create a simple regex that matches the following string:
..."chrX:33267175-33267784 610bp TGATGTTTGGCGAGGAACTC GCAGAGTTTGAAGAGCTCGG\nTGATGTTTGGCGAGGAACTCtactattgttacacttaggaaaataatcta\natccaaaggctttgcatctgtacagaagagcgagtagatactgaaagaga\ntttgcagatccactgttttttaggcaggaagaatgctcgttaaatgcaaa\ncgctgctctggctcatgtgtttgctccgaggtataggttttgttcgactg\nacgtatcagatagtcagagtggttaccacaccgacgttgtagcagctgca\ntaataaatgactgaaagaatcatgttaggcatgcccacctaacctaactt\ngaatcatgcgaaaggggagctgttggaattcaaatagactttctggttcc\ncagcagtcggcagtaatagaatgctttcaggaagatgacagaatcaggag\naaagatgctgttttgcactatcttgatttgttacagcagccaacttattg\ngcatgatggagtgacaggaaaaacagctggcatggaaggtaggattatta\naagctattacatcattacaaatacaattagaagctggccatgacaaagca\ntatgtttgaacaagcagctgttggtagctggggtttgttgCCGAGCTCTT\nCAAACTCTGC\n"...
I have created the following regex: <PRE>[.|[\n]]*</PRE>' yet it won't match the string above. Does anyone have a solution to this conundrum and perhaps a reasoning as toward why this doesn't work.
