Python regex string matching?

Question

I\'m having a hell of a time trying to transfer my experience with javascript regex to Python.

I\'m just trying to get this to work:

print(re.match(         


        

Answer 1

the docs is clear i think.

re.match(pattern, string[, flags])¶

If zero or more characters **at the beginning of string** match the

regular expression pattern, return a corresponding MatchObject instance. Return None if the string does not match the pattern; note that this is different from a zero-length match.
