<p>I just started python few days ago and was looking around the stackoverflow.
I can't seems to loop each line from the file it was only searching the first line.</p>

<p>f.close()</p>

<p>To loop through each line of your file:</p>

<pre><code>import re
with open('file1.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        # do something with line
</code></pre>

<p>Note that there is no need to do <code>f.close()</code>, it is already handled by the context manager <code>with ...</code></p>
