re python module code example
Example 1: 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 2: python re compile
import re
# Compile a regular expression pattern into a regular expression object, which can be used for matching using its match(), search() and other methods, described below.
prog = re.compile(pattern)
result = prog.match(string)
# is equivalent to
result = re.match(pattern, string)
Example 3: python re
m = re.search(r'[cbm]at', 'aat')
print(m)
