massar_code = sub(schema, final_form, data)
print(massar_code)

but it doesn't matches newlines and spaces ... i want it to matches everything any help !??

Answer 1

You need to add re.DOTALL or re.S flag to the re.sub( ):

massar_code = sub(schema, final_form, data, flags=re.S)

Use of re.S or re.DOTALL:

Make the '.' special character match any character at all, including a newline; without this flag, '.' will match anything except a newline.
