Say this is my string: http://www.test.com/1/page/
And this is my sub_string: www.test.com/2/page/
Now if I run
sub_string in string
The result will obviously be False because 2 is not in the string. However, I don't care about that part. The only parts I care about are www.test.com and page. I want only these parts to be checked, and don't care about what's in between them. How can I perform a search in that way, so the results would be True?
You can use regex.
import regex as re
test_string="www.test.com/2/page/"
len(re.findall(".*www\.test\.com\/[0-9]\/page\/",test_string))>0
Output:
True
You can use regex:
import re
all_locs = re.findall('www\.test\.com/[0-9]+/page/', source_string)
This will return all locations where the substring appears in. An empty list means it didn't appear
you can simply use:
if substring in string.lower():
print("Exists")
else:
print("Does not exist")
or regex:
import re
for match in re.findall('www\.test\.com/[0-9]+/page/', str):
print(match)
.split()orpartition()and then use.startswith()and.endswith()to check for a match.
