Help with regex needed

Tue Apr 12 08:06:25 EDT 2011

Thanks everybody , and especially Chris - i used split and it took me 15
mins to make it work :)
The final version looks like:
from datetime import datetime, date, time
today_day = datetime.now()
time_tuple= today_day.timetuple()
hhh = open("file_with_data.data",'r')
for nnn in hhh:
 if nnn.split()[2] == str(time_tuple[1]).strip(' \t\n\r') and
nnn.split()[4] == str(time_tuple[0]).strip(' \t\n\r') and nnn.split()[3]
== str(time_tuple[2]).strip(' \t\n\r') :
 print nnn
Cheers and good day everyone
