I'm doing the python Regex course. Task one is to open a file like so:
file_object = open("basics.txt")
when i do task 4 first = re.match("four", file_object) I get an error saying that i have broken task one. The code is as follows:
import re
file_object = open("basics.txt")
data = file_object.read()
file_object.close()
first = re.match("four", data)

import re
file_object = open("basics.txt")
data = file_object.read()
file_object.close()
first = re.match("Four", data)
