Regular Expression Matching

• Matching within strings

  • Syntax: math_object = re.search(string)
  • E.g.
    >>> regex = re.compile('11*')
    >>> match = regex.match("I have $111 dollars")
    >>> print match
    None
    >>> match = regex.search("I have $111 dollars")
    >>> print match
    <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00A036F0>
    >>> match.group()
    '111'
