Python：如何反向提取两个字符串之间的字符串

Question

I have a string like this,

s = "'B_NAME:Basin Name', 'Z_NAME:Zone Name', 'MD:Min Depth', 'F_BLOCK:First Block'"

I want to extract string between ":Min Depth" and previous single quote ( ' ). In the above example, the output I expect is "MD" . What is the best way to do this in Python, appreciate your support.

Answer 1

You should use regular expressions, something like this:

import re

re.findall(r'(?<=\')\w+(?=\:)', s)

# OUTPUT
# ['B_NAME', 'Z_NAME', 'MD', 'F_BLOCK']
