Re: like a "for loop" for a string

Ok, after sending my post, I see, that the code got a bit screewed up, but morover, there should probably be a word boundary in the closing part of the regexp. A next attempt + added stripping the "yes" delimiter and the whitespace...: >>> import re >>> input_text = """yes text1 yes text2 yes text

Uhm, "string" and "non-string" are just that, words within the string. Here shall I dumb it down for you? string = "yes text1 yes text2 yes text3 no text4 yes text5+more Text yes text6 no text7 yes text8" It doesn't matter what is in the string, I want to be able to know exactly how many "yes"
