Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online regex to python.
Import the re module, then compile the pattern or call functions such as re.search, re.match
and re.findall directly.
re.IGNORECASE for case insensitive matching, re.MULTILINE so anchors work per line and
re.DOTALL so a dot matches newlines.
Compiling once and reusing the object avoids rebuilding the expression, which matters inside
loops over many strings.
A list of every non overlapping match as strings, or a list of tuples when the pattern
contains capture groups.
A match object for the first match anywhere in the string, or None when the pattern never
matches.
The r prefix stops Python from treating backslashes as escapes, so a pattern such as a word
boundary stays intact.
match only looks at the start of the string, while search looks anywhere and returns the
first match it finds.
Wrap the part you need in parentheses, then read group one and beyond from the match object
or use finditer with groups.
No. It only writes the code for you to paste into your own Python project, so nothing is
executed here.
