How to extract part of string using regex?

To extract a part of a string using regex, you can use the re module in Python. Here is an example of how you can do this:

import re

# Define the string
text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

# Define the regex pattern to match the part of the string you want to extract
pattern = r"quick brown (w+) jumps"

# Use the re.search() function to find the matching part of the string
match = re.search(pattern, text)

if match:
    extracted_part = match.group(1)
    print(extracted_part)
else:
    print("No match found")

In this example, the regex pattern quick brown (w+) jumps will match the part of the string between "quick brown" and "jumps" and extract it. The (w+) part of the pattern captures one or more word characters that are between "quick brown" and "jumps". The re.search() function is used to find the matching part of the string and the match.group(1) method is used to extract the captured group.
