searching for a pattern wiht re 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 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"
