如何使用python re查找两个字符之间的信息（不包括空格）？

Question

Hi I am trying to develop a script using python that detects if there is something between two words. I am using regular expression r'Madrid:(.*?)Newyork' for this:

import re

string_1 = "Madrid: good bars Newyork: good building Warranty: No"
pattern = r'Madrid:(.*?)Newyork'
searchObj = re.search(pattern, string_1, re.I)
if searchObj:
        return True
    else:
        return False

This is working fine the problem is that it also detects whitespaces, and when I have whitespaces it should not find anything. I would like to develop an expression that excludes a whitespace from the match. For example, for these two is match is true and should be false:

string_2 = "Madrid: Newyork: good building Warranty: No"
string_3 = "Madrid:      Newyork: good building Warranty: No"

I am trying with [^\\s] but Is not working, any help?

Answer 1

You can use this regex:

reg = r'Madrid:(.*?\S.*?)Newyork'

\\S in the middle ensures you are not matching all whitespaces between start and end strings.

无需使用其他正则表达式，您可以删除所有空格：

searchObj = re.search(pattern, string_1.replace(" ", ""), re.I)
