如何在Python中使用正则表达式匹配<和>之类的符号？

Question

I am parsing a log file, and I am trying to match for expressions like "key"=>"value" to extract the value. I can't figure out how to match for the greater than symbol.

I am not having any luck with re.match(r">", ...) , r"\\>" , or r"\\\\r" . How do I do this?

Answer 1

re.match only matches from the start of the string. try re.search:

>>> re.match(">", "a>b")
>>> re.search(">", "a>b")
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x7f4dd577e3d8>

or match the other text first:

>>> re.match(".*>", "a>b")
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x7f4dd577e440>
