i'm trying to get a certain string from a code snippet. i'm using the re (regex) package, but there seems to be a small problem:
when i use the method findall() it works fine, it displays exactly what i want, but when i use match, it returns None.

this is the code i'm using:

import re
code = "private void handleUpdateConstructionRequestEvent( UpdateConstructionRequestEvent event)"
 
reg_method = re.compile('([A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\._]+)\s?\(', re.S)
print "findall:"
print reg_method.findall(code)
print "match:"
print reg_method.match(code) 

When i run it, i get this output:

Code:

findall:
['UpdateConstructionRequestEvent']
match:
None

does anybody have an idea why?

thx in advance,

never mind :s

i found it. after carefully reading the docs again, i saw why it wasn't working:

match() : Determine if the RE matches at the beginning of the string.
search() : Scan through a string, looking for any location where this RE matches.
