Python regular expression to search for words in a sentence

Question

Im still learning the ropes with Python ad regular expressions and I need some help please! I am in need of a regular expression that can search a sentence for specific word

Answer 1

Have you though to use something beyond Regex?

Consider this and and if it works expand from this solution

>>> 'total' in question.split()
True

Similarly

>>> words = {'total','staff'}
>>> [e   for e in words if e in question.split()]
['total', 'staff']
