While I can use a for loop looking for a match on a list, I was
wondering if there was a one-liner way.
In particular, one of my RE's looks like this '^somestring$' so I can't
just do this: re.search( '^somestring$', str( mylist ) )
I'm not smart enough (total newbie) to code up a generator expression
and I was wondering if I'm missing something obvious.
words = ['foo', 'bar', 'somestring', 'baaz']
re.search(r"^somestring$", "\n".join(words), re.MULTILINE)
I love succinct but clearly understandable code.
separator.join(sequence_of_strings) is a very common python idiom, so
you can consider it as readable.
