Regular Expression Search Challenge

Using the Python string below to perform a search using a regular expression that you create.

search_string=This is a string to search for a regular expression like regular expression or regular-expression or regular:expression or regular&expression

Write a regular expression that will find all occurrences of: a. regular expression b. regular-expression c. regular:expression d. regular&expression in search_string

Assign the regular expression to a variable named pattern

Using the findall() method from the re package determine if there are occurrences in search_string

Assign the outcome of the findall() method to a variable called match1

If match1 is not None: a. Print to the console the pattern used to perform the match, followed by the word matched

Otherwise: a. Print to the console the pattern used to perform the match, followed by the words did not match

Write a regular expression that will find all occurrences of:

regular expression

regular-expression

regular:expression

regular&expression

In the string: This is a string to search for a regular expression like regular expression or regular-expression or regular:expression or regular&expression

Assign the regular expression to a variable named pattern

Using the findall() method from the re package determine if there are occurrences in `search_string`

Assign the outcome of the findall() method to a variable called match1

If match1 is not None print to the console the pattern used to perform the match, followed by the word 'matched'

Otherwise Print to the console the pattern used to perform the match, followed by the words 'did not match'
