Q:

regex in python

#re findall
>>> import re  
# A sample text string where regular expression is searched.  
>>> string = """Hello my Number is 123456789 and  
             my friend's number is 987654321"""
    
# A sample regular expression to find only digits.  
>>> regex = '\d+'             
    
>>> match = re.findall(regex, string)  
>>> print(match) 
['123456789', '987654321']

import re

# The string you want to find a pattern within
test_string = 'Hello greppers!'

# Creating a regular expression pattern
# This is a simple one which finds "Hello"
pattern = re.compile(r'Hello')

# This locates and returns all the occurences of the pattern
# within the test_string
match = pattern.finditer(test_string)

# Outputs all the ocurrences which were returned as 
# as match objects
for match in matches:
  print(match)
