How do I return a string from a regex match in python? [duplicate]

by

You should use re.MatchObject.group(0). Like

imtag = re.match(r'<img.*?>', line).group(0)

Edit:

You also might be better off doing something like

imgtag  = re.match(r'<img.*?>',line)
if imtag:
    print("yo it's a {}".format(imgtag.group(0)))

to eliminate all the Nones.
