python string pattern matching 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: searching for a pattern in text with re python

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

Example 3: 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 4: 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"
