A
The re.sub() function allows you to substitute (or replace)
matches of a given regular expression in
match the beginning part of a target string
with of a given regular expression.
import re f = re.sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0) Where: pattern is the regular expression repl is the replacement string string is the target string count=0 means replacing all matches f is the final string after replacements are done
Here is Python example that shows you how to use the re.findall() function:
>>> import re >>> s = "Hello perl.org, php.net, and python.org!" >>> p = "(\\w+)\\.(\\w+)" >>> print(p) (\w+)\.(\w+) >>> r = "domain" >>> f = re.sub(p,r,s) >>> print(f) Hello domain, domain, and domain!
⇒ Use Match Group \g<n> in Replacement
