In this article we will be using Regular Expression to get zero or more occurrences within the pattern. Regular expressions (regex) are important features to identify patterns in text. In Python, the re module provides support for working with regex. The concept of zero or more occurrences is a key regex feature. This means that a pattern can appear somewhere between zero and an infinite number of times. Zero or More Occurrences? In regex, the * symbol denotes zero or more instances of the preceding element. For example, the pattern a* will match - ... Read More

In this article, we are going to discuss how to use regular expressions in place of a string.replace() method. As you may know, Python's built-in string.replace() method is used to replace given substrings in a string. But when we need more complex replacement features so Python's re (regular expressions) module is very helpful. Regular expressions allow us to search for patterns and replace them with precise values, which makes string manipulation simpler. Why Use Regular Expressions? While string.replace() works well for simple tasks, it has its limitations, like it can only replace exact substrings and has limited ability to use pattern ... Read More

In this article, we will see the concept of B-regular expressions in Python. Regular expressions (regex) are a useful tool for matching patterns in strings. In Python, the re module helps you to work with regex patterns. What is a B Regular Expression? A 'B' regular expression is a type of regex that searches and matches particular patterns within a string. For example, it can be used to find out whether a string starts or ends with a given letter or whether it matches the pattern's set criteria. Use the re Module For using regular expressions in Python, you need ... Read More

The re module provides tools while working with Python's regular expression (regex), which allows us to search for any specific pattern within the strings. Using the 're' module provides two functions named match() and search(),  which accept a pattern (regular expression) and return True or False. The match() function returns 'None' if no pattern is detected, or it returns the match in the form of an object (in case of a match). In addition to these, we can also use the fullmatch() function to get a boolean result from a regular expression. ... Read More

Regular expressions are a useful tool for searching and manipulating strings in Python. Among the several patterns and methods available, the [d+] expression is used to match one or more digits in a string. In this article, we will go over the [d+] regular expression pattern, the way it is used, and five code examples with step-by-step explanations to help you understand and apply it to your Python projects. Understanding the [d+] Pattern Before we see the code examples, let us first understand the [d+] pattern. So basically [d+] is a combination of two elements - ... Read More

By default, Python regular expressions (regex) look for case-sensitive matches. That is, the terms "apple" and "Apple" are not synonyms. But sometimes we want to search without consideration for uppercase or lowercase. This is referred to as a case-insensitive match. This chapter teaches you how to create case-insensitive regexes in Python without using re.compile(). What is a Regular Expression? A regular expression (regex) is a pattern that enables you to find strings like - Emails Phone Numbers Names Or any pattern. To interact with regular expressions, we use the Python built-in module re. Import the re Module Before ... Read More

To extract decimal numbers from a string in Python, regular expressions are used. A regular expression is a group of characters that allows you to use a search pattern to find a string or a set of strings. RegEx is another name for regular expressions. The re module in Python is used to work with regular expressions. In this article, we will learn how to extract decimal numbers from a string in Python using regular expressions. To retrieve non-digit characters from a string, we use the following regular expression - \d+\.\d+ Where, \d returns a match where the string contains ... Read More

To view the project explorer, click on Window menu then, click on Show View and select Project Explorer.There is simpler way to open project explorer, when you are in the editor press alt + shift + w and select project explorer.

In Python, a list is an ordered sequence that can hold several object types, such as integers, characters, or floats. In this article, we will show you how to check if the given input list is empty or NOT using Python. Below are the 5 methods to accomplish this task - Using not operator Using len() function By Comparing with an Empty List Using __len__() Method Using NumPy Module Assume we have taken an empty list. We will check if the input list is empty or not and return some random message for acknowledgment using different methods as ... Read More

A nested list is a list that has lists as elements. For example: [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] is a nested list as it has 3 lists ([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], and [7, 8, 9]) as its elements. To flatten a list of lists (nested list), i.e., to convert a 2D list into a 1D list, there are different ways such as Nested for loop, List Comprehension, Built-in Functions, or by importing libraries in Python. In this article, we will discuss the above methods to flatten a list in Python. Using for loops For ... Read More
