Given the following string
p='12.04.2020 - 17:00 - 13.04.2020 10:00'
How do I replace the first dash (-), which is a mistake, with an empty space?
I tried with
re.sub("(20\d*) - (\d*):","\1 \2:",p)
'12.04.\x01 \x02:00 - 13.04.2020 10:00'
but it doesn't return the matches.
Edit: there may be multiple such patterns and there may not be a dash in that position, so it has to be specific, I cannot just replace the first found dash.
You need to use r
modifier to prevent escaping \d to d and \1 to 1
re.sub(r"(20\d*) - (\d*):",r"\1 \2:",p)
