Okay. But you still haven't given me a few lines of your input file. The 
"in.txt" that you are using in your code.

> import re

> infile = open("in.txt","r")
> outfile = open("out.txt", "w")

> patt = 'src=\*10.52.10.10'
>
> m = re.match(line, patt)

>    if z in line:

Mmmm. This isn't making sense. This is better syntactically. But I will need 
your data file in order to fix the actual regular expression

#######################
import re

infile = open("in.txt","r")
outfile = open("out.txt","w")

patt = re.compile('src=\*10.52.10.10')   # I am absolutely sure this is not 
the re exp you want

for line in infile:
  m = patt.match(line)
  if m:
    outfile.write(m.group()[0])

ofile.close()
wfile.close()
#######################

Give me data. I'll fix your re. ;-)
