Play with Python Regular Expressions Like Tennis

-
Regular Expressions are something like to find a matching string in another string. You will get either 'True' or 'False' as a response.

Python supports regular expressions. It has a special library to work with these. I have shared best examples for your quick reference.
Python Regular Expressions

I am not sharing here how to play tennis. My intention is if you just follow ideas, you can play tennis today.

Python Regular Expressions

  1. What is a regular expression?
  2. How does python support
  3. Best examples

Let us start - What is Regular Expression.

>>> haystack = 'My phone number is 213-867-5309.'
>>> '213-867-5309' in haystack
True


This is just a fundamental use of the regular expression. The real use of Regular Expression comes here. That is - to find if the main has any valid phone number.


Regular expressions also called regexes.

Two Main Reasons Why We use Regular Expressions

  1. Data mining - to get required data if it is present are not
  2. Data validations - to get an answer if the received string is valid or not.

How Python Supports

Python has its own regular expression library. That is called re. What you need to do is just import it.

>>>import re

How Python responds when data matches and not matches.
  1. If a match found it returns the String
  2. If there is no match it does return null
Best Example for Regular Expression

>>> import re
>>> re.search(r'fox', 'The quick brown fox jumped...')
<_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(16, 19), match='fox'>

Notes: The returned string is 'fox'.

How to Use the group to Get matching String

>>> match = re.search(r'fox', 'The quick brown fox jumped...')
>>> match.group() 'fox'

Notes: The returned string is 'fox'.

How to get multiple Matches

>>> import re >>> re.findall(r'o', 'The quick brown fox jumped...')
['o', 'o']

Notes: It returns multiple strings.

In Python, you can call parsing errors Syntax errors. How to fix the syntax errors quickly, I can show in this post. Also, check Python Syntax Errors Cheat Sheet. Python Syntax Error. If you run the Python code, the interpreter first parses the logic. If any errors found, it is the developer's responsibility to fix them.

In the above case, it is '1'. Then look for the symbol '^'. The issue is at the PRINT function. The reason is before the PRINT function you need a colon ':'.
