在 python 中使用正则表达式提取字符串的一部分

Question

I realize this question has been asked a million times, but I'm not very good with regex yet. I'm trying to extract a company name from a file name. The file name structure is as such:

ID_Name_analytics.png

For example: 3_Football Company_analytics.png

The ID can have multiple digits.

I've tried

organisation_name = re.search(r"^\d+_(\w+)_PYP_analytics\.png$", visual_file).group(0)

but it gives me AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups' .

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You do not need regex for this.

my_string = "3_Football Company_analytics.png"

organization_id, organization_name, _ = my_string.split('_')
