Python: Regex is not good for re.search (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no att

[Melcu54]

In my html file I have this line:

	<div class="color-black mt-lg-0" id="hidden">, in</div>
    <a href="https://neculaifantanaru.com/en/leadership-pro.html" title="View all articles from Leadership Pro" class="color-green font-weight-600 mx-1" id="hidden">Leadership Pro</a>

I use this regex:

^\s*<a href="(.*?)" title="View` 

in order to find this link

https://neculaifantanaru.com/en/leadership-pro.html

In notepad++ the regex search is ok !

The problem is in Python.

FIND: (on line 18)

b_content = re.search('^\s*<a href="(.*?)" title="View', new_file_content).group(1)

REPLACE:

old_file_content = re.sub(', in <a href="(.*?)" title="Vezi', f', in <a href="{b_content}" title="Vezi', old_file_content)

Gives me this error on line 18:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<module2>", line 18, in <module>
    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

I, also, try to change that line with:

b_content = re.match(r'^\s*<a href="(.*?)" title="View', new_file_content).group(1)

but I get the same error.
