your code seems to lack the actual regular expression that will find the result you are looking for. If I understand correctly, your aim is to find lines starting with F, followed by ANY two characters. If this is the case, you wish to print the line to the terminal. Let me guide you:
import re
file_hand = open("mbox-short.txt")
for line in file_hand: #NB: After a new scope is entered, use indentation
result = re.search("$f..", line) #pattern, search string
#$ matches character before the first in a line
#. matches 1 occurence of any character
if result.group() != "": #access result of re.search with group() method
print(line)
I trust you can follow this. If you need capital F, I will leave it as a homework exercise for you to find out how to do the capital F.
