RE match fail in python, confuse with the result on regex101

Question

http://regex101.com/r/oU6eI5/1 , test here seam works, but when i put in Python, match whole str.

str = galley/files/tew/tewt/tweqt/
re.sub(\'^.+/+([^/]+/$)\', \         


        

Answer 1

It would be better if you define the pattern or regex as raw string.

>>> import re
>>> s = "galley/files/tew/tewt/tweqt/"
>>> m = re.sub(r'^.+/+([^/]+/$)', r'\1', s)
               ^                  ^
>>> m
'tweqt/'
