Python: Regular Expressions
Prerequisites

Wed 24 Nov 2010

Description

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course explains how to construct and use regular expressions in Python (using the re module). It does not discuss how to construct complex regular expressions, nor does it cover regular expressions themselves in much detail, rather it focuses on how to use regular expressions in Python.

For a detailed discussion of regular expressions see the "Pattern Matching Using Regular Expressions" course.

Prerequisites
  • Prior attendance at one of the "Python Introduction for Absolute Beginners" or "Python Introduction for Programmers" courses or equivalent experience.
  • Those attending should be able to use a plain text editor (e.g. emacs, gedit, pico, vi) on a Unix system as might be obtained from the Emacs or Vi introductory courses.
