[Tutor] simple regex question

[bruce]

Hi. I have a chunk of text code, which has multiple lines.

I'd like to do a regex, find a pattern, and in the line that matches the
pattern, mod the line. Sounds simple.

I've created a test regex. However, after spending time/google.. can't
quite figure out how to then get the "complete" line containing the
returned regex/pattern.

Pretty sure this is simple, and i'm just missing something.

my test "text" and regex are:


  s='''
<td valign="top" colspan="1"><b><a href="#"
id='CourseId10795788|ACCT2081|002_005_006' style="font-weight:bold;"
onclick='ShowSeats(this);return false;' alt="Click for Class Availability"
title="Click for Class Availability">ACCT2081</a></b></td>'''


  pattern = re.compile(r'Course\S+|\S+\|')
  aa= pattern.search(s).group()
  print "sss"
  print aa

so, once I get the group, I'd like to use the returned match to then get
the complete line..

pointers/thoughts!! (no laughing!!)

thanks guys..
