I am new to python. I have a string
from which I would like to select pattern false
and the characters preceding it until hyphen with some other string if required.
Example:
string = -I false -n 0 -i false -X false -E 0 --min-repeat-size 5 --min-repeat-entropy 0 --no-partial-observations false -u false
Result string should be like this:
string = -n 0 -E 0 --min-repeat-size 5 --min-repeat-entropy 0
I use re
method to replace false with another character but could not get what I wanted.
>>> import re
>>>
>>> string = "-I false -n 0 -i false -X false -E 0 --min-repeat-size 5 --min-repeat-entropy 0 --no-partial-observations false -u false"
>>>
>>> string = re.sub(r"-{1,2}[\w-]+\s+false\s?", "", string)
>>>
>>> string
'-n 0 -E 0 --min-repeat-size 5 --min-repeat-entropy 0 '
>>>
