Need to match two words in a line

[tester_V]

Good evening!
I'm trying to match two words and the "(" in a line.
these are" FAILED (Exit ", there is a space before the FAILED and after the Exit
here is what I come up with and it does not work...

1 2 3

if re.search("\sFAILED\s\(Exit",el)  :     print(f" ++===={el}")     filtered.write(f"{el}"+"\n")

the regex probably looks laughable to you but that is my level of skills with regex for now.
Sorry about that. All help appreciated.

I copied and pasted your pattern, and it worked fine for me. Maybe el does not contain what you think it contains.

1 2 3

import re pattern = "\sFAILED\s\(Exit" print(re.search(pattern, "The Search FAILED and it FAILED (Exit somewhere"))

Output:
<re.Match object; span=(24, 37), match=' FAILED (Exit'>
