To match complete words for an acronym using regex, you can use boundary anchors () to ensure that the acronym is a standalone word and not part of a larger word. For example, if you want to match the acronym "ABC", you would use the following regex pattern:
ABC
This pattern will match the complete word "ABC" as a standalone word, but not if it is part of a larger word such as "ABCD" or "ABCDEF".
Here is an example of how you can use this regex pattern in Python to match complete words for an acronym:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
import re text = "I work at the ABC company and earn a lot of money." pattern = r'ABC' matches = re.findall(pattern, text) for match in matches: print(match) |
This will output:
1
|
ABC |
This code snippet will find and print the complete word "ABC" from the text, ignoring any other occurrences where it is not a standalone word.
