Python regular expression screen scrub
Hi

I am trying to write a python script that executes a command to screen scrub results below
I will appreciate it very much if you can help me with a python script that can
pick the percentage USAGE in the second column based on the supplied queue number in the first column

Code:
import re
content = """NUMBER of Queues = 5
SYSTEM Treshold = 80%
  ==================================================================

QUEUE   USAGE   TOTAL book1   book2

------------------------------------------------------------------

0001 18%   822   481    98  

0002 16%   345   765    88  

0003 10%   400   300   166  

0004 15%   994   322    177  

0005 17%   348   297    131  

---------------------------------------------------------- """

m = re.match("(0001)/(\d{%})", content)           
if m:
    print m.group(0)      
    print m.group(1)

When i run this from the command prompt nothing shows up

I was able to get this screen scrub done using php preg_match_all
but i want to do the same with the re module in python.

Please suggestions and help will be very much appreciated

Thanks

dh_python

DH_PYTHON(1)							     Debhelper							      DH_PYTHON(1)

NAME

       dh_python - calculates Python dependencies and adds postinst and prerm Python scripts (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

       dh_python [debhelperoptions] [-n] [-V version] [moduledirs...]

DESCRIPTION

       Note: This program is deprecated. You should use dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral instead. This program will do nothing if debian/pycompat or a
       Python-Version control file field exists.

       dh_python is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${python:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files.
       It will also add a postinst and a prerm script if required.

       The program will look at Python scripts and modules in your package, and will use this information to generate a dependency on python, with
       the current major version, or on pythonX.Y if your scripts or modules need a specific python version. The dependency will be substituted
       into your package's control file wherever you place the token ${python:Depends}.

       If some modules need to be byte-compiled at install time, appropriate postinst and prerm scripts will be generated. If already byte-
       compiled modules are found, they are removed.

       If you use this program, your package should build-depend on python.

OPTIONS

       module dirs
	   If your package installs Python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_python check those directories by passing their
	   names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE,
	   /usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE and /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages.

	   Note: only /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages and the extra names on the command line are searched for binary (.so)
	   modules.

       -V version
	   If the .py files your package ships are meant to be used by a specific pythonX.Y version, you can use this option to specify the
	   desired version, such as 2.3. Do not use if you ship modules in /usr/lib/site-python.

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

SEE ALSO
