python findall

Python findall is the second video in the series on Python regular expressions in simple English (first: re.search at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeocRDdeIQ8 ).

To use the text that we match with regular expressions in Python use re.findall. In these python re.findall examples we show how to use regular expressions in the python code to match and extract text from a series of lines of text.

Regular expressions featured include anchors, quantifiers, how to use brackets and the escape character. We also show how to use findall on web text by removing html tags. The second part of the video explains the challenge set for viewers. Try the quiz and see if your answer was correct, or just enjoy watching how use can build up a regular expression for a specific task.

The series on python regular expressions includes re.search, re.findall and re.sub. The next video will be released in the near future.

Pattern matching in python uses regular expressions to search and find characters or patterns in text. Regular expressions are a language format used in text processing. They are the main tool for searching, finding, extracting and substituting text when processing text. They can be used in many programming languages, such as python.
