How to use re match objects in a list comprehension

Question

I have a function to pick out lumps from a list of strings and return them as another list:

def filterPick(lines,regex):
    result = []
    for l in lines:
         


        

Answer 1

>>> "a" in "a visit to the dentist" 
True 
>>> "a" not in "a visit to the dentist" 
False

That also works with a search query you're hunting down in a list

`P='a', 'b', 'c'

'b' in P` returns true
