I try to write a program, where the user can write a word or a name
and I
will tell how many times the subject was mentioned in a text, I'm
hosting.
I guess it's possible but not this way it seems?
The re is only searching for the word "name" and not the variable
name
You don't need a regex here.
name = raw_input('Who would you like to check'? ')
with open("text.txt", "r") as mytxt:
antal = [line for line in mytxt if name in line]
print name,' was mentioned ', len(antal),' times in the text'
Should suffice.
