Helo, I need to do a substitution in a regular expression that depends on a variable. To simplify I want to be able to do this substitution:
text2='XX. AA YY. DD' re.sub(ur"\. (AA|BB|ÇÇ","(.) \g<1>",text2) this would give as a result: 'XX(.) AA YY. DD' Which is exactly what I want. But when I try to substitute AA|BB|CC for a variable I do not know how to make it work. I wanted to use re.compile. I tryed: NP= u"AA|BB|ÇÇ" reNP=re.compile(ur'%s'%NP) But if I try: reNP.match(text2) And I do not know how to use the variables in there. Should I use re.compile or is there something else that I should be using Thank you Eva Bofias
