How to concisely cascade through multiple regex statements in Python

Question

My dilemma: I\'m passing my function a string that I need to then perform numerous regex manipulations on. The logic is if there\'s a match in the first regex, do one thing

Answer 1

Are the manipulations for each regex similar? If so, try this:

for regex in ('regex1', 'regex2', 'regex3', 'regex4'):
    match = re.match(regex, string)
    if match:
        # Manipulate match.group(n)
        return result
