regex or python 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

# pip install regex
import re
# simple find all
sample = "Nothing lasts... but nothing is lost"
found = re.findall("thing", sample)
print(found)

Example 4: re.sub in python example

import re

result = re.sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0);

Example 5: regex in python

>>> import re
>>> p = re.compile('ab*')
>>> p
re.compile('ab*')
