如何匹配/搜索特定模式但沒有另一個特定模式？

Question

我需要匹配一個模式not check一個更大的字符串。

bigger_string = '<some words and> do not check <some other words>'

但在那之后它不應該有一個數字。 所以， not check <some words>應該匹配但not check 67 <some words>不應該匹配。 我試過這些：

re.findall(re.compile(r'not\s*check\s*\D*', re.I), bigger_string)

re.findall(re.compile(r'not\s*check\s*[^0-9]*', re.I), bigger_string)

它不起作用。 這總是返回一個匹配。

Answer 1

\D* in not\s*check\s*\D*表示匹配到第一個數字，如果前面沒有數字，則不匹配。

利用

\bnot\s+check\b(?!\s*\d)\D*

見證明。
