How can I use the grep function from the re module for searching patterns in a text file?

 The grep in Python programming language, in the context of re-module is used to search for specific patterns. For this task, it uses the functionalities of grep for pattern matching within a text. Here is the example given of how you can do so:-

Import re

Pattern_to_search = r’your_pattern_here’

File_path = ‘your_file_path_here’

Try:

    With open(file_path, ‘r’) as file:

        For line_number, line in enumerate(file, 1):

            If re.search(pattern_to_search, line):

                Print(f”Pattern found at line {line_number}: {line.strip()}”)

Except FileNotFoundError:

    Print(f”File not found: {file_path}”)

Except Exception as e:

    Print(f”An error occurred: {str€}”)

In this above example you can replace your pattern here with the real expression pattern which you want to search for.

Replace your file path here with the actual patch.
