regex re.search and re.match

in the regex module re:

Note: Match() is not exactly equivalent to Search() with "^". For
example:

re.search(r'^B' , 'A\nB',re.M) # succeeds
re.match(r'B', 'A\nB',re.M) # fails

if without the re.M, would re.search and re.match be equivalent?

------------

i wish to spruce up the rewritten re-module doc
http://xahlee.org/perl-python/python...module-re.html
with people's help.

if at the end it is good, i hope it can find its way into the official
doc.

I want to use regular expressions with less typing. Like this: A / 'b.(..)' # test for regex 'b...' in A A # get the last whole match A # get the first group in the last match A /= 'b.','X',1 # replace first occurence of regex 'b.' # in A with 'X' A /= 'b.','X' # replace all occurences of regex 'b.' # in A with 'X'

I'm struggling with something that should be fairly simple. I just don't know the regext syntax very well, unfortunately. I'd like to parse words out of what is basically a boolean search string. It's actually the input string into a Microsoft Index Server search. The string will consist of words, perhaps enclosed in quotes or parentheses. I'd like to use Regex to pull out the words, or the phrases if the words are enclosed in quotes....

This is a bit of an abuse of this group. Just a nit, but I'm hoping someone really good with Regular Expressions can help me out here. I need to write a regular expression that will do the following: Search a whole blob of text (including newlines and everything). Find any text enclosed in brackets (), and replace it with a string I provide and then concatenate the text that had been enclosed in the brakets, without the brakets.

I have a small utility program written in Python which works pretty slow so I've decided to implement it in C. I did some benchmarking of Python's code performance. One of the parts of the program is using Python's standard re (regular expressions) module to parse the input file. As Python's routines to read from the file and regular expressions are most likely implemented via native libraries I would expect that the C code, which reads...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
