Matching parentheses in python regular expression?

In more or less direct reply to your comment Try this import re s = '1 stores(s)' if re. Match('store\(s\)$',s): print('match') The solution is to use re. Search instead of re.

Match as the latter tries to match the whole string with the regexp while the former just tries to find a substring inside of the string that does match the expression.

Also needed to add 'r' prefix to regex pattern string. – martineau Mar 14 at 21:13 @martineau: I reverted your edit because that was a quote. – poke Mar 14 at 21:17 It's not a quote.

The OP never said "Try this" and his code does not have s = '1 stores(s)'. I suggest you copy & paste for quotes...or be more careful typing it in, because otherwise your answer is very hard to understand. – martineau Mar 15 at 8:59 @martineau: No, OP wrote that as a comment first, hence the “reply to your comment”.

The actual message was then later put in the question and the comment was removed. That doesn’t change the fact that it is still a quote (and not my text)… – poke Mar 15 at 13:40.

Python offers two different primitive operations based on regular expressions: match checks for a match only at the beginning of the string, while search checks for a match anywhere in the string (this is what Perl does by default) Straight from the docs, but it does come up alot.

And B are both regular expressions, then AB is also a regular expression. String pq will match AB. Primitive expressions like the ones described here.

Above, or almost any textbook about compiler construction. A brief explanation of the format of regular expressions follows. Information and a gentler presentation, consult the Regular Expression HOWTO.

Regular expressions can contain both special and ordinary characters. Expressions; they simply match themselves. Characters, so last matches the string 'last'.

Some characters, like '|' or '(', are special. How the regular expressions around them are interpreted. The null byte using the \number notation, e.g. (Dot.) In the default mode, this matches any character except a newline.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
