Tags in Sample.txt:
<ServiceRQ>want everything between...</ServiceRQ>
<ServiceRQ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>want everything between</ServiceRQ>
..
Please can someone help me to get the regex? To extract the expected output from a text file. I want to create a regex to find the above tags.
This is what is have tried re.search(r"<(.*?)RQ(.*?)>(.*?)</(.*?)RQ>", line)
but not working properly. I want to make a search based on word RQ in text file
The expected output should be
1. <ServiceRQ>want everything between</ServiceRQ> 2. <ServiceRQ> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>want everything between</ServiceRQ>

Answer
Try this pattern
regex= r'<w+RQ.*?>.*?</w+RQ>' data=re.findall(regex, line)
The above regex will give output like
['<ServiceRQ>want everything between...</ServiceRQ>', '<ServiceRQ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>want everything between</ServiceRQ>']
