Regular Expression in Python

Regular Expression in Python
We will start with Regular Expressions. RegEx is a way of creating a rule to filter what you want from your data. We will keep Python as a consistent coding language for this complete exercise. Let’s start with Regular Expression in Python

Many of you must have come across SQL questions where you need to get the data of customers whose name starts with A and in the WHERE condition you write something like,

WHERE Customer_Name LIKE ‘A%’

Well !! This is the basic Regular Expression where you request the query to get you a specific result. The way we write Regular Expression in Python is a bit different. Check out the table below:-To use Regular Expression, first, you need to “import re” package
And the following 4 functions are quite useful for using your regex

1. findall – It returns a complete list of all the matches
2. search – It returns a match object
3. split – Splits the string wherever there is a match
4. sub – It replaces one or many matches of the regex

Following are some important metacharacter and special sequence

1. Get the string that starts with The and ends with Monk

import re

st = “The Data Monk”
x = re.search(“^The.*Monk$”, st)

2. Get the start and end index of a string ‘Learning’

import re

s = ‘Experience the Learning curve’

match = re.search(r’Learning’, s)

print(‘Start Index:’, match.start())
print(‘End Index:’, match.end())

The above code gives the starting index and the ending index of the string portal.

3. Finding all occurrences of a pattern 

string = “””You can contact us at 979804930 or 94310038″””

regex = ‘\d+’

match = re.findall(regex, string)
print(match)

The above will print the two numbers
