hi
if i have a string like this
"ABCE-123456 ABC_DEF_Suggest (abc def ghi).txt"
that needs to be passed to a python script
and i wanted to get the words inside the brackets after i passed this
string. I did a re
something like
thestring = sys.argv[1:]
pat = re.compile(r".* \((.*)\)\.txt$" )
if pat.search(thes tring):
words = pat.search(thes tring).group(1)
but it doesn't return anything for words variable.
When i specifically define the string inside the python script , it
works
thestring = "ABCE-123456 ABC_DEF_Suggest (abc def ghi).txt"
I also tried str(thestring) but also did not work
what is wrong with the argument passing?
thanks
