python-regexHow to find all matches with regex in Python?

To find all matches with regex in Python, you can use the re.findall() function. This function takes two arguments: the pattern to search for, and the string to search in.

Example code

import re

string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
pattern = "The.*dog"

matches = re.findall(pattern, string)
print(matches)

Output example

['The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog']

Code explanation

• import re: imports the re module, which contains the findall() function.
• string: the string to search in.
• pattern: the pattern to search for.
• re.findall(pattern, string): searches for all matches of the pattern in the string.
• print(matches): prints the matches.
