Module re, extract on string match

I am wondering if I can use re.search to extract from a particular
location in a string.
Example:
string1='/Users/sriram/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder5/file'
re.search ('folder3,strin g1)

<Extract /folder3/folder4/folder5/file>

Thanks,

Sriram

I'm working on the 0.8 release of my 'rex' module, and would appreciate feedback, suggestions, and criticism as I work towards finalizing the API and feature sets. rex is a module intended to make regular expressions easier to create and use (and in my experience as a regular expression user, it makes them MUCH easier to create and use.) I'm still working on formal documentation, and in any case, such documentation isn't necessarily the...

Greetings, fellow Pythonistas! I'm about to create three modules. As an avid TDD fan I'd like to create typical 'use-cases' for each of these modules. One of them is rather large, and I wondered if it would be easy enough to create a code skeleton out of unit test module. Consider the following, though contrived, unit test code snippet: ==========================================================================

re: 4.2.1 Regular Expression Syntax http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html *?, +?, ?? Adding "?" after the qualifier makes it perform the match in non-greedy or minimal fashion; as few characters as possible will be matched. the regular expression module fails to perform non-greedy matches as described in the documentation: more than "as few characters as possible"

Hi All, I expect someone can crack this one in no time. Ok, what I'd like to do is to match a pattern in a string and extract a portion of it. For example if I had a string like: 'The store had apples(20) and pears(30)' how do I extract the '20' and '30'? ie. if the pattern is 'apples(??)', how do I expect the '??'.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
