python regex create pattern code example
Example 1: python regex search group
>>> m = re.match(r"(\w+) (\w+)", "Isaac Newton, physicist")
>>> m[0] # The entire match
'Isaac Newton'
>>> m[1] # The first parenthesized subgroup.
'Isaac'
>>> m[2] # The second parenthesized subgroup.
'Newton'
Example 2: python regular expression
import re
# The string you want to find a pattern within
test_string = 'Hello greppers!'
# Creating a regular expression pattern
# This is a simple one which finds "Hello"
pattern = re.compile(r'Hello')
# This locates and returns all the occurences of the pattern
# within the test_string
match = pattern.finditer(test_string)
# Outputs all the ocurrences which were returned as
# as match objects
for match in matches:
print(match)
Example 3: regex in python
>>> import re
>>> p = re.compile('ab*')
>>> p
re.compile('ab*')
