Hi All: I am new to regular expressions in general, and not just re in python. So, apologies if you find my question stupid :) I need some help with forming a regex. Here is my scenario ... I have strings coming in from a list, each of which I want to check against a regular expression and see whether or not it "qualifies". By that I mean I have a certain set of characters that are permissible and if the string has characters which are not permissible, I need to flag that string ... here is a snip ...
flagged = list() strs = ['HELLO', 'Hi%20There', '123...@#@'] p = re.compile(r"""[^a-zA-Z0-9]""", re.UNICODE) for s in strs: if len(p.findall(s)) > 0: flagged.append(s) print flagged my question is ... if I wanted to allow '%20' but not '%', how would my current regex (r"""[^a-zA-Z0-9]""") be modified? TIA, AK
