Hello, I am working on a way to
parse a file and wondered if there is a way to check for multiple patterns. The
reason I wonder this is because it would make everything a lot easier regarding
calculations on what words to use and so on. What I want to do is to check
for two patterns to make sure all occurrences of pattern1 and pattern2 come in
the same order as they do in the file I parse. It it
contains a number of computer-games I would like the output to look something
like this: PS2, Battlefield 2: Modern
Combat. The file is constructed
somewhat similar to this: PC Battlefield,
Battfiled2 PS2 Battlefield
2: Modern Combat Using the following
_expression_ (and re.findall) I get somewhat closer: pattern8 = re.compile(r'search.asp\?title=battlefield.*?><.*?>(PCCD|XBOX
360|XBOX|PLAYSTATION PSP|PLAYSTATION 2) - TITLE<|game.asp\?id=(\d+).*?><.*?><.*?>(.*?)<') The output is: [('PCCD',
'', ''), ('PLAYSTATION 2', '', ''), ('XBOX', '', ''), ('XBOX 360', '', ''),
('PLAYSTATION PSP', '', ''), ('', '4262', '
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat')] I get the last game mentioned
in the file, but none of the others. Anybody know
how to solve this? Thanks in advance for any
help and have a great day! -Kristian |
