按特定模式拆分的正则表达式

Question

I have a string str='\\n1. AA \\n2. BB\\n3.\\n4. CC' str='\\n1. AA \\n2. BB\\n3.\\n4. CC' str='\\n1. AA \\n2. BB\\n3.\\n4. CC' . I want to split it using the following pattern: a newline character followed by a digit followed by one or more space(s).

I am hoping to get the answer ['','AA ', 'BB\\n3.', 'CC'] .

If I use re.split('\\n[0-9]\\.\\s+',str) , I get the result:

['', 'AA ', 'BB', '4. CC']

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

\\s+ at the end matches whitespace including newline characters . If you don't want trailing newlines to match change it to [^\\S\\n]+ :

>>> re.split('\n[0-9]\.[^\S\n]+',s)
['', 'AA ', 'BB\n3.', 'CC']
