python regex string match code example

Example 1: python pattern matching example

import re
pattern = re.compile('[a-zA-Z ]+')		# a...z A...Z and space allowed
message = "Weather is nice"
if pattern.match(message).group() == message:
    print("match")
else:
    print("no match")

Example 2: python named group regex example

>>> re.search(r'(?P<name>[^-]+)-(?P<ver>\d.\d.\d-\d+).tar.gz', 'package_name-1.2.3-2004.tar.gz').groupdict()
{'name': 'package_name', 'ver': '1.2.3-2004'}

Example 3: re.match() python

pattern = '^a...s$'
test_string = 'abyss'
result = re.match(pattern, test_string)

if result:
  print("Search successful.")

Example 4: re python3

import re
>>> m = re.search('(?<=abc)def', 'abcdef')
>>> m.group(0)
'def'

Example 5: re.match python

import re
xx = "guru99,education11 is fun"
r1 = re.findall(r"^\w+",xx)
print(r1)

Example 6: python re.search()

## Search for pattern 'bb' in string 'aabbcc'.
  ## All of the pattern must match, but it may appear anywhere.
  ## On success, match.group() is matched text.
  match = re.search(r'bb', 'aabbcc') # found, match.group() == "bb"
  match = re.search(r'cd', 'aabbcc') # not found, match == None

  ## . = any char but \n
  match = re.search(r'...c', 'aabbcc') # found, match.group() == "abbc"

  ## \d = digit char, \w = word char
  match = re.search(r'\d\d\d', 'p123g') # found, match.group() == "123"
  match = re.search(r'\w\w\w', '@@abcd!!') # found, match.group() == "abc"
