Python 学习笔记（六）正则扩展标记

1. (?:...) 不想保存括号里匹配项时使用

The (?:...) notation should be fairly popular; with it, you can group
parts of a regex, but it does not save them for future retrieval or use.

>>> re.findall(r'http://(?:w+.)*(w+.com)',
       'http://google.com http://www.google.com http://code.google.com')
['google.com', 'google.com', 'google.com']

2.(?P<name>) and (?P=name)

can use the (?P<name>) and (?P=name) notations together. The former
saves matches by using a name identifier rather than using increasing
numbers, starting at one and going through N, which are then retrieved
later by using 1, 2, ... N.

>>> re.search(r'((?P<areacode>d{3})) (?P<prefix>d{3})-(?:d{4})',
      '(800) 555-1212').groupdict()
{'areacode': '800', 'prefix': '555'}

3.findall() and finditer();

>>> re.findall(r'w+(?= van Rossum)',
       '''
Guido van Rossum
Tim Peters
Alex Martelli
Just van Rossum
''')
['Guido', 'Just']

>>> bool(re.search(r'(?:(x)|y)(?(1)y|x)', 'xy'))
True
>>> bool(re.search(r'(?:(x)|y)(?(1)y|x)', 'yx'))
True
