To parse out both single line and multiline text using regular expressions, you can use the re.DOTALL
flag in Python's regex module. This flag allows the .
symbol to match any character, including newline characters.
Here's an example of how to use the re.DOTALL
flag to parse out both single line and multiline text:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
import re text = '''This is a single line text. This is a multiline text. Line 1 Line 2 Line 3''' # Parse out single line text single_line_text = re.findall(r'This is a single line text.', text) print(single_line_text) # Parse out multiline text multiline_text = re.findall(r'Line d+', text, re.DOTALL) print(multiline_text) |
In this example, the first regex pattern matches the single line text "This is a single line text." and the second regex pattern matches all lines that start with "Line" followed by a digit in the multiline text. The re.DOTALL
flag is used to ensure that the dot .
matches newline characters as well.
You can adjust the regex patterns as needed to match different parts of the text you want to parse out.
