Substitutions and Splitting using Regular Expressions Regex in Python…FTC

Basics of Regular Expressions in Python, check the link below 👇 👇

Splitting a String

The split() method breaks a string at each occurrence of a certain pattern.
Consider the following line from the any file,
line = “OverLord:legacyboy:fcukthecode/home/:/bin/bash”

We can use split() to turn the fields from this line into a list,

import re
line = "OverLord:legacyboy:fcukthecode/home/:/bin/bash"
passre = re.compile(r":")
passlist = passre.split(line)
#passlist = ['OverLord', 'legacyboy', 'fcukthecode/home/', '/bin/bash']

# Better yet, we can assign a variable name to each field.
(Logname,Username, Home, Shell) = re.split (r":", line)

print(Logname,Username, Home, Shell)
#Output:  OverLord legacyboy fcukthecode/home/ /bin/bash

Substitutions

Regular expressions can also be used to substitute text for the part of the string matched by the
pattern. In this example, the string “Over, fcukthecode.com” is transformed into “Lord, fcukthecode.com”:

import re
temp = "Over, fcukthecode.com"
tempA = re.compile(r"Over")
tempB = tempA.sub("Lord", temp)
print(tempB) # Output:  Lord, fcukthecode.com


#This could also be written as
anime = "Over, fcukthecode.com"
newanime = re.sub (r"Over", "Lord", anime)
print(newanime) #Output:  Lord, fcukthecode.com

ILLUSTRATION USING CLI

Here’s a slightly more interesting example of a substitution. This will replace all the digits in the input
with the letter X:

import re
Xdigit = re.compile(r"\d")
temp = input("String: ")

print(Xdigit.sub("X",temp)) # This will replace all the digits in the input
    

INPUT:
String:  101fcukthecode101

OUTPUT:
XXXfcukthecodeXXX

The re.search() method takes a regular expression pattern and a string and searches for that pattern within the string. If the search is successful, search() returns a match object or None otherwise.
