RegEx 或正则表达式是形成搜索模式的字符序列。
RegEx 可用于检查字符串是否包含指定的搜索模式。
Python 提供名为 re 的内置包，可用于处理正则表达式。
导入 re 模块：
import re
导入 re 模块后，就可以开始使用正则表达式了：
实例
检索字符串以查看它是否以 “China” 开头并以 “country” 结尾：
import re
txt = "China is a great country"
x = re.search("^China.*country$", txt)运行实例
import re
txt = "China is a great country"
x = re.search("^China.*country$", txt)
if (x):
print("YES! We have a match!")
else:
print("No match")
re 模块提供了一组函数，允许我们检索字符串以进行匹配：
元字符是具有特殊含义的字符
字符：[] 描述：一组字符 示例：“[a-m]”
import re
str = "The rain in Spain"
#Find all lower case characters alphabetically between "a" and "m":
x = re.findall("[a-m]", str)
print(x)运行示例
字符： 描述：示意特殊序列（也可用于转义特殊字符） 示例：“\d”
import re
str = "That will be 59 dollars"
#Find all digit characters:
x = re.findall("\d", str)
print(x)运行示例
字符：. 描述：任何字符（换行符除外） 示例： “he…o”
import re
str = "hello world"
#Search for a sequence that starts with "he", followed by two (any) characters, and an "o":
x = re.findall("he..o", str)
print(x)运行示例
字符：^ 描述：起始于 示例： “^hello”
import re
str = "hello world"

如果未找到匹配项，则返回空列表。
实例
如果未找到匹配，则返回空列表：
import re
str = "China is a great country"
x = re.findall("USA", str)
print(x)运行实例
search() 函数搜索字符串中的匹配项，如果存在匹配则返回 Match 对象。
如果有多个匹配，则仅返回首个匹配项。
实例
在字符串中搜索第一个空白字符
import re
str = "China is a great country"
x = re.search("\s", str)
print("The first white-space character is located in position:", x.start())运行实例
如果未找到匹配，则返回值 None：
实例
进行不返回匹配的检索
import re
str = "China is a great country"
x = re.search("USA", str)
print(x)运行实例
split() 函数返回一个列表，其中字符串在每次匹配时被拆分。
实例
在每个空白字符处进行拆分
import re
str = "China is a great country"

import re
str = "China is a great country"
x = re.split("\s", str, 1)
print(x)运行实例
sub() 函数把匹配替换为您选择的文本
实例
用数字 9 替换每个空白字符

print(x)运行实例
Match 对象是包含有关搜索和结果信息的对象。
注释：如果没有匹配，则返回值 None，而不是 Match 对象。
实例
执行会返回 Match 对象的搜索：
import re
str = "China is a great country"
x = re.search("a", str)
print(x) # 将打印一个对象运行实例
Match 对象提供了用于取回有关搜索及结果信息的属性和方法：
span() 返回的元组包含了匹配的开始和结束位置
