re.findall not producing any results-CodePudding

I am reading in a text file (named Untitled.txt) and I am trying to return the text after "make": (so the desired result would be "Lucid", in this case)

Example text:

[{"make":"Lucid","model":"Air (Dream Edition R)",

Python script:

import re

a_string = open('Untitled.txt','r')

makes = re.findall('"make":[a-zA-Z] ', str(a_string))

print(makes)

Output: []

I get no results. Why? How do I fix this??

CodePudding user response：

a_string is file object , you can use it to get content.
such as

a_string = open('Untitled.txt', "r")
r_string = flag.read()

then use re.findall

makes = re.findall('"make":[a-zA-Z] ', r_string)
print(makes)
