Getting captured group in one line

Question

There is a known \"pattern\" to get the captured group value or an empty string if no match:

match = re.search(\'regex\', \'text\')
if match:
    value = mat         


        

Answer 1

One liners, one liners... Why can't you write it on 2 lines?

getattr(re.search('regex', 'text'), 'group', lambda x: '')(1)

Your second solution if fine. Make a function from it if you wish. My solution is for demonstrational purposes and it's in no way pythonic.
