Regex

The document provides information on regular expressions (regex) in Python including: - Common regex identifiers like \d for digits and \s for whitespace - Regex modifiers like {1,3} for 1-3 repetitions and | for alternation - Flags for regex functions/methods in the re module like re.I for case insensitivity - Details on the re2 module as an alternative to re for simple substitutions The document then provides examples of using regex in Python to: - Check if a string starts and ends with a vowel - Check if two words in a string both start with 'e' - Check if a string starts with a capital letter - Extract names and values

Identifiers:

\ used to escape a character


\d any number
\D anything but a number
\s space
\S anything but a space
\w any character
\W anything but a character
. any character except a new line
\. actually a period
\b whitespace around words

Modifiers:
{1,3} we're expecting 1-3
+ Match 1 or more
? Match 0 or 1
* Match 0 or more
$ match the end of a string
^ match the beginning of a string
| matches either or e.g. \d{1-3}|\w{5-6}
[] Match range or "variance" e.g. [A-Za-z] or [1-5a-qA-Z]
{x} expecting "x" amount

White Space Characters:


\n new line
\s space
\t tab
\e escape (rare)
\f form feed (rare)
\r return

DON'T FORGET!:
. + * ? [ ] $ ^ ( ) { } \ |

Regular Expression - Re
In many regex functions and methods, there are optional arguments called flags,
which modify the meaning of a given regex pattern.

Syntax Long Syntax Meaning


re.I re.IGNORECASE Ignores case.
re.M re.MULTILINE Enables begin/end{^,$} consider each line.
re.S re.DOTALL Enables " . " match newline.
re.U re.UNICODE Enables {\W,\w,\B,\b} follow unicode rules.
re.L re.LOCALE Enables {\W,\w,\B,\b} follow locale.
re.X re.VERBOSE Allows comment in regex.

Regular Expression - Re2


An re2 package is an extension of Google's re2 regular expression library. For
simple substitutions, re packages have been found to work better than re2 packages.

To install the re2 package, use the following command:

pip install re2

Q1.start and end with vowel then return true

import os
import re
# Enter your code here
def function(a):

match = re.match('^[AEIOU].*[aeiou]$',a)

return match

if __name__ == "__main__":
a = input()
b = function(a)

if b:
print(True)

else:
print(False)

Q2. insert two word string.if both strings start with 'e' then true else return
false

import os
import re

def function(a):

m = re.match('(e\w+)\s(e\w+)',a)

return m

if __name__ == "__main__":
a = input()
b = function(a)

if b:
print(True)

else:
print(False)

Q3. If string starts with capital letter, return true if it starts with anything
else return false

import os
import re

# Enter your code here


def function(a):

result = re.match('^[A-Z].*',a)

return result

if __name__ == "__main__":
a = input()
b = function(a)
if b:
print(True)

else:
print(False)

Q4: Extract names and values into dictionary from given string

import os
import re

# Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
def main(x):
pattern = x
names = re.findall(r'[A-Z][a-z]*',pattern)
#print(names)
values = re.findall(r'\d{1,5}',pattern)
#print(values)
dicts = {}
x = 0
for eachName in names:
dicts[eachName] = values[x]
x += 1
return dicts
'''For testing the code, no input is to be provided'''

if __name__ == "__main__":
x=input()
print(main(x))
