One of the exercises in Core Python Programming is to create a regular expression that will match a street address. Here is one of my attempts.
>>> street = "1180 Bordeaux Drive" >>> patt = "\d+ \w+" >>> import re >>> m = re.match(patt, street) >>> if m is not None: m.group() ... '1180 Bordeaux' >>> Obviously, I can just create a pattern "\d+ \w+ \w+". However, the pattern would be useless if I had a street name like 3120 De la Cruz Boulevard. Any hints? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
