Here's a simple example of using the :meth:`sub` method. It replaces colour names with the word ``colour``:: - >>> p = re.compile( '(blue|white|red)') - >>> p.sub( 'colour', 'blue socks and red shoes') + >>> p = re.compile('(blue|white|red)') + >>> p.sub('colour', 'blue socks and red shoes') 'colour socks and colour shoes' - >>> p.sub( 'colour', 'blue socks and red shoes', count=1) + >>> p.sub('colour', 'blue socks and red shoes', count=1) 'colour socks and red shoes' The :meth:`subn` method does the same work, but returns a 2-tuple containing the new string value and the number of replacements that were performed:: - >>> p = re.compile( '(blue|white|red)') - >>> p.subn( 'colour', 'blue socks and red shoes') + >>> p = re.compile('(blue|white|red)') + >>> p.subn('colour', 'blue socks and red shoes') ('colour socks and colour shoes', 2) - >>> p.subn( 'colour', 'no colours at all') + >>> p.subn('colour', 'no colours at all') ('no colours at all', 0) Empty matches are replaced only when they're not adjacent to a previous match. |
