Say I have three strings:
abc534loif
tvd645kgjf
tv96fjbd_gfgf
and three lists:
beginning
captures just the first part of the string "the name" middle
captures just the number end
contains only the rest of the characters that are after the number portion How do I accomplish this in the most efficent way?
Use regular expressions?
>>> import re
>>> strings = 'abc534loif tvd645kgjf tv96fjbd_gfgf'.split()
>>> for s in strings:
... for match in re.finditer(r'\b([a-z]+)(\d+)(.+?)\b', s):
... print match.groups()
...
('abc', '534', 'loif')
('tvd', '645', 'kgjf')
('tv', '96', 'fjbd_gfgf')
This is language agnostic approach that aims at higher efficiency:
p0
p1
0
to p0-1
into beginning
p0
to p1
into middle
p1+1
to length-1
into end
I guess you're looking for re.findall :
strs = """
abc534loif
tvd645kgjf
tv96fjbd_gfgf
"""
import re
print re.findall(r'\b(\w+?)(\d+)(\w+)', strs)
>> [('abc', '534', 'loif'), ('tvd', '645', 'kgjf'), ('tv', '96', 'fjbd_gfgf')]
>>> import itertools as it
>>> s="abc534loif"
>>> [''.join(j) for i,j in it.groupby(s, key=str.isdigit)]
['abc', '534', 'loif']
I wouls use regualar expressions like:
(?P<beginning>[^0-9]*)(?P<middle>[^0-9]*)(?P<end>[^0-9]*)
and pull out the three matching sections.
import re
m = re.match(r"(?P<beginning>[^0-9]*)(?P<middle>[^0-9]*)(?P<end>[^0-9]*)", "abc534loif")
m.group('beginning')
m.group('middle')
m.group('end')
import re #You want to match a string against a pattern so you import the regular expressions module 're'
mystring = "abc1234def" #Just a string to test with
match = re.match(r"^(\D+)([0)9]+](\D+)$") #Our regular expression. Everything between brackets is 'captured', meaning that it is accessible as one of the 'groups' in the returned match object. The ^ sign matches at the beginning of a string, while the $ matches the end. the characters in between the square brackets [0-9] are character ranges, so [0-9] matches any digit character, \D is any non-digit character.
if match: # match will be None if the string didn't match the pattern, so we need to check for that, as None.group doesn't exist.
beginning = match.group(1)
middle = match.group(2)
end = match.group(3)
I'd something like this:
>>> import re
>>> l = ['abc534loif', 'tvd645kgjf', 'tv96fjbd_gfgf']
>>> regex = re.compile('([a-z_]+)(\d+)([a-z_]+)')
>>> beginning, middle, end = zip(*[regex.match(s).groups() for s in l])
>>> beginning
('abc', 'tvd', 'tv')
>>> middle
('534', '645', '96')
>>> end
('loif', 'kgjf', 'fjbd_gfgf')
