python - Finding words in phrases using regular expression -
i wanna use regular expression find phrases contains 1 - 1 of n words (any) 2 - n words (all )
>>> import re >>> reg = re.compile(r'.country.|.place') >>> phrases = ["this place", "france european country, , wonderful place visit", "paris place, s capital of country.side"] >>> phrase in phrases: ... found = re.findall(reg,phrase) ... print found ...
result:
[' place'] [' country,', ' place'] [' place', ' country.']
it seems messing around, need specify need find word, not part of word in both cases.
can pointing issue ?
because trying match entire words, use \b
match word boundaries:
reg = re.compile(r'\bcountry\b|\bplace\b')
