All,
Below I am just providing the example of what I want to achieve, not the original strings that I will be using the regular expression against. The original strings could have: "Hello world" "hello World everyone" "hello everyone" "hello world and friends" I have a string which is "hello world" which I want to identify by using regular expression how many times: * "hello" occurs on its own. * "Hello world" occurs in the list of strings regardless of the number of white spaces. Splitting the string into an array ['hello', 'world'] and then re-joining it together and using a loop to move through the strings does not provide the information I want. So I was wondering if this is possible via regular expressions matching? Modifying the original string is one option. But I was wondering if this could be done? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
