issue with regular expressions

[joseph pareti]

the following code ends in an exception:

import re
pattern = 'Sottoscrizione unica soluzione'
mylines = []                                # Declare an empty list.
with open ('tmp.txt', 'rt') as myfile:      # Open tmp.txt for reading text.
    for myline in myfile:                   # For each line in the file,
        mylines.append(myline.rstrip('\n')) # strip newline and add to list.
for element in mylines:                     # For each element in the list,
#    print(element)
   match = re.search(pattern, element)
   s = match.start()
   e = match.end()
   print(element[s:e])
