Python Regex文字和时间在同一行

Question

I'm trying to grab a NHL schedule, its format is:

    tabindex="1" >Game: Wild at Blackhawks 8:00PM ET</a>

I can grab it like:

    tabindex="1" >Game: (.)(.*?) at (.)(.*?)</a>

That Grabs the first letter of the team names then the rest (coloring purposes) plus the start time.

I have tried variations of the following from posts I've found in here:

    (?:(?:(\d+):)?(\d+):)?(.+?)$ (ET|PT)

However I would like to grab the Time, AM/PM, and ET separately for coloring as well. What stumps me is to figure out how to grab Text and Date following eachother in a line. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Answer 1

Try below to grab Time, AM/PM, and ET or PT-

>>>re.findall(r'([\d:]*)([A-Z]+)\s*([A-Z]+)(?=</a>)','tabindex="1" >Game: Wild at Blackhawks 8:00PM ET</a>')
>>>[('8:00', 'PM', 'ET')]

See LIVEDEMO

Answer 2

How about this:

>>> s = 'tabindex="1" >Game: Wild at Blackhawks 8:00PM ET</a>'
>>> m = re.search(r'tabindex="1" >Game: (\w)(\w*?) at (\w)(\w*?) (\d+:\d\d)(\w\w) (\w\w)</a>', s)
>>> m.groups(0)
('W', 'ild', 'B', 'lackhawks', '8:00', 'PM', 'ET')
