Hi everybody!

I have a string array, i.e. ['name1', 'name2']
I want to compare each of the elements of the string with another string (i.e. 'name2') to see if there is in the array the string I was searching.

Merci!!

Hey,
This is actually pretty straight forward:

"""Program for playing around with the regular expressions.

How to use from command line:

>>> import revise_res
>>> regex_obj = revise_res.revise_reg_exp()
>>> regex_obj.compare_strings("sEsHa"
sesha exist in the string compare list
>>> regex_obj.compare_strings("sEsa"
sEsa doesnt exist in the string compare list
