How to store matched part of regex in python?

@orpha 

In Python, you can store the matched part of a regular expression by using the re module.

Here's an example to demonstrate how to store the matched part of a regex in Python:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18

import re

# Define the regex pattern
pattern = r'(d{2}-d{2}-d{4})'

# Input text
text = 'Date of birth: 12-31-2000'

# Search for the pattern in the text
match = re.search(pattern, text)

# If a match is found
if match:
    # Store the matched part in a variable
    matched_part = match.group(1)
    
    # Print the matched part
    print(matched_part)

In this example, the regex pattern (d{2}-d{2}-d{4}) is used to match a date format in the input text. The re.search() function is used to search for the pattern in the text. If a match is found, the group(1) method is used to store the matched part in the variable matched_part. Finally, the matched part is printed to the console.
