Hi,

This is my first post on this forum and my very first attempt in Python. So forgive me if my answer is not to the point.

Code:
import re

s="""
MyText (mymessage):   0   (Time 0 hours)
MyText (mymessage): 344(Time 34 hours)
MyText (mymessage):1000 (Time 2000 hours)
"""

patt = re.compile(r':[^0-9]*([0-9]+)[^0-9]+([0-9]+)')
...
