Type of compiled regex object in python

Type of compiled regex object in python

In Python, the type of a compiled regular expression object is re.Pattern. The re.Pattern class represents a compiled regular expression pattern that you can use for matching, searching, and other regex operations.

Here's how you typically create a compiled regex object and check its type:

import re # Define a regular expression pattern pattern = r'\d+' # Compile the pattern into a regex object regex_object = re.compile(pattern) # Check the type of the compiled regex object print(type(regex_object)) # <class 're.Pattern'>

In this example:

  • We import the re module, which provides regular expression functionality in Python.

  • We define a regular expression pattern that matches one or more digits (\d+).

  • We compile the pattern into a regex object using re.compile().

  • We check the type of the compiled regex object using the type() function, which confirms that it is of type re.Pattern.

You can then use the regex_object to perform various regex operations, such as searching, matching, and replacing, on strings.

    • Description: This snippet identifies the type of a compiled regex object.
    • Code:
      import re # Compile a regex pattern regex = re.compile(r"[a-z]+") # Get the type of the compiled regex object regex_type = type(regex) # <class 're.Pattern'>

  3. Type Hint for Compiled Regex Objects in Python

    • Description: Demonstrates how to use type hints for compiled regex objects in Python.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Pattern def compile_pattern() -> Pattern[str]: return re.compile(r"[A-Za-z]+")

  4. Using Compiled Regex Objects in Python Functions

    • Description: Shows how to use compiled regex objects within a function.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Pattern # Function using a compiled regex def find_numbers(pattern: Pattern[str], text: str) -> bool: return pattern.search(text) is not None pattern = re.compile(r"\d+") print(find_numbers(pattern, "There are 3 apples.")) # Output: True

  5. Storing Compiled Regex Objects in a List with Type Hinting

    • Description: Demonstrates how to store compiled regex objects in a list with type hinting.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import List, Pattern # List of compiled regex patterns patterns: List[Pattern[str]] = [ re.compile(r"[a-z]+"), re.compile(r"\d+") ] # Test patterns for pattern in patterns: print(pattern.findall("Test 123")) # Output: ['est', '123']

  6. Type Hinting Compiled Regex Object in a Class Attribute

    • Description: Demonstrates how to type hint a class attribute for a compiled regex object.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Pattern class TextAnalyzer: pattern: Pattern[str] def __init__(self, regex: str): self.pattern = re.compile(regex) analyzer = TextAnalyzer(r"\d+") print(analyzer.pattern.findall("Find 42 in the text.")) # Output: ['42']

  7. Using Compiled Regex Objects in Dictionaries with Type Hinting

    • Description: Demonstrates storing compiled regex objects in a dictionary with type hinting.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Dict, Pattern # Dictionary with compiled regex patterns regex_dict: Dict[str, Pattern[str]] = { "letters": re.compile(r"[a-zA-Z]+"), "numbers": re.compile(r"\d+") } # Use compiled regex from dictionary print(regex_dict["letters"].findall("Hello123")) # Output: ['Hello']

  8. Compiled Regex Object with Variable Input in Python

    • Description: Demonstrates creating a compiled regex object with a variable input and type hinting.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Pattern # Function that returns a compiled regex object based on input def compile_with_input(input_str: str) -> Pattern[str]: return re.compile(input_str) pattern = compile_with_input(r"\w+") print(pattern.findall("Text 123")) # Output: ['Text', '123']

  9. Creating a Compiled Regex Object in a Class Method

    • Description: Shows how to create a compiled regex object in a class method with type hinting.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Pattern class RegexFactory: @staticmethod def create_pattern(regex: str) -> Pattern[str]: return re.compile(regex) pattern = RegexFactory.create_pattern(r"[A-Z]+") print(pattern.findall("HELLO 123")) # Output: ['HELLO']

  10. Checking if an Object is a Compiled Regex in Python

    • Description: Shows how to check if an object is a compiled regex object in Python.
    • Code:
      import re from typing import Any # Function to check if an object is a compiled regex def is_compiled_regex(obj: Any) -> bool: return isinstance(obj, re.Pattern) pattern = re.compile(r"\d+") print(is_compiled_regex(pattern)) # Output: True print(is_compiled_regex("123")) # Output: False
