I have search end tried alot but i am stuck. I want to get the words between Ort: and Område: in a text. This is what i tried last

regort = re.compile(r'Ort (.*)(.Område)

This works.

text = " bla bla Ort: Norra Strö Område: blabla lblalbal"
regort = re.compile(r'Ort: (.*?)Område:')
ort = regort.findall(text)
print ort[0]
Norra Strö

Is this what you meant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9222106/how-to-extract-information-between-two-unique-words-in-a-large-text-file – kaushik94 Dec 23 '17 at 13:27
You missed the colon in your regex. – Mad Physicist Dec 23 '17 at 13:30
regort = re.compile(r'Ort: (.*)(.Område:) Still i get some error that it is not ended correctly. I cant find the error in my log right now. I will look for it. – Stefan Rydberg Dec 23 '17 at 13:33
You aren't closing your raw string and you aren't closing the call to `re.compile()`. You are missing `')` at the end. – John Coleman Dec 23 '17 at 13:55
