How to parse key-value with regex?

To parse key-value pairs with regular expressions, you can use the following approach:

1. Define a regex pattern that matches the key-value pair format. For example, if the format is "key: value", the regex pattern would be something like (w+): (w+).
2. Use the re module in Python to search for the key-value pairs in a given string using the defined regex pattern.
3. Extract the key and value from the matched groups in the regex result.

Here's an example Python code snippet that demonstrates how to parse key-value pairs with regex:

 1

import re

# Define the regex pattern for key-value pairs
pattern = r'(w+): (w+)'

# Sample string containing key-value pairs
text = 'name: John, age: 30, city: New York'
 
# Search for key-value pairs in the text
matches = re.findall(pattern, text)

# Extract the key-value pairs
for key, value in matches:
    print(f"Key: {key}, Value: {value}")

This code snippet will output:

1

Key: name, Value: John
Key: age, Value: 30
Key: city, Value: New
