re.match與re.search的區別
re.match只匹配字符串的開始,如果字符串開始不符合正則表達式,則匹配失敗,函數返回None;而re.search匹配整個字符串,直到找到一個匹配。
實例
#!/usr/bin/python
import re
line = "Cats are smarter than dogs";
matchObj = re.match( r'dogs', line, re.M|re.I)
if matchObj:
print "match --> matchObj.group() : ", matchObj.group()
else:
print "No match!!"
matchObj = re.search( r'dogs', line, re.M|re.I)
if matchObj:
print "search --> searchObj.group() : ", matchObj.group()
else:
print "No match!!"
