Lecture 31: Basics of Regular Expressions in Python
In this tutorial, you will learn about regular expressions in Python, which are powerful tools for pattern matching, searching, and replacing in strings. Regular expressions allow you to define sequences of characters to search for specific patterns within text. In Python, the re module is used to work with regular expressions.
Topics Covered:
Introduction to Regular Expressions: Understand the concept of regular expressions as sequences of characters for pattern matching. Learn their common applications, such as validating data, extracting information, and performing search-and-replace operations.
Basic Patterns: Explore simple patterns using normal characters like letters or numbers. Learn about special characters such as ^, $, *, +, and ?, which have specific meanings in regular expressions.
Using Metacharacters: Discover metacharacters, like the dot (.) which matches any single character except a newline, and how they enhance the flexibility of pattern matching.
Quantifiers: Learn to specify the number of occurrences of a character or group using quantifiers such as *, +, ?, {m}, {m,}, and {m,n}. Understand how they help in matching repeating patterns effectively.
Real-World Example: Apply your knowledge of regular expressions by extracting email addresses from a text string. Understand how a practical regex pattern can be constructed and implemented in Python using the re module.
