python-regexHow to match a range between two characters with Python regex?


To match a range between two characters with Python regex, you can use the [] character class. This character class allows you to specify a range of characters to match. For example, the following code will match any character between a and z:

import re

pattern = re.compile('[a-z]')

print(pattern.match('b'))

Output example

<re.Match object; span=(0, 1), match='b'>

The code consists of the following parts:

  1. import re: This imports the re module, which provides regular expression matching operations.
  2. pattern = re.compile('[a-z]'): This creates a regular expression pattern object that will match any character between a and z.
  3. print(pattern.match('b')): This prints the result of matching the character b against the pattern.
