Finding line number when matching text
I load all the text file into a string and match it with
a regexp. Now I want to know the line number of a match.
I can use the line number to lookup inside the text.
(in this case using EditPlus)
1 2 src = open('2.htm').read() 3 pattern = '<P>([^<]+)<SUP>' # or anything else 4 for m in re.finditer(pattern, src): 5 start = m.start() 6 lineno = src.count('\n', 0, start) + 1 7 offset = start - src.rfind('\n', 0, start) 8 word = m.group(1) 9 print "2.htm(%s,%s): %s" % (lineno, offset, word)
Editplus allow me to double click at the output printed
and jump to the exact position using the given lineno, offset.
