unable to match this regular expression in python

Question

I am trying to match regular expression using python in this code.

CDS_REGEX = re.compile(r'\+CDS:\s*"([^"]+)",\s*(\d+)$')
cdsiMatch = allLinesMatchingPattern(self.CDS_REGEX, notificationLine)
print cdsiMatch

Matching String:

['+CDS: 24', '079119890400202306A00AA17909913764514010106115225140101061452200']

Please help me i am not able to find my mistake,

What is the string you're matching against? The "matching string" you've shown is a list, not a string, and I'd guess it's the result of your call, not the target of it. — Blckknght, Mar 31 '15 at 20:47

As @Blckknght said, are you sure you really want to match that string?
What is ([^"]+) supposed to match?
You're looking for " instead of ' (you probably want ['"]).
You're only checking for numbers here: (\d+), but your long string clearly contains A's.
