Regex, creating a pattern

[stahorse]

Hi,

I have a text that I'm trying to create a pattern for, I got thud far:

import re

text = '''
image003.jpgimage/[email protected]:39:50truefalseimage001.jpgimage/[email protected]:39:50truefalseNJS Basson Snr Basson Familie Trust  Gothoma Diggings NJS.xlsxapplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet41BB382125CA54438BDE8428DBDF8B6C@mns.internal.co.za868522019-04-01T12:39:50falsefalseNJS BASSON SNR.PDFapplication/pdfEBA76A0D4619594DB6951BE861F9FF9E@mns.internal.co.za3638912019-04-01T12:39:50falsefalse4798442019-04-01T12:39:31Z2019-04-01T12:39:[email protected] EscalationAgriCCC.Escalation@santam.co.zaSMTPMailboxtruetrueEternity [email protected] 000000000

'''

pattern = re.compile(r'image[\d]+.+')
matches = pattern.finditer(text)

for match in matches:
    print(match)

Output:

Output:
"<re.Match object; span=(681, 1413), match='image003.jpgimage/[email protected]>"

I'm looking for expression that can pick anything similar, close or exactly that, please help

Try this pattern: re.findall(r'image\d+\.jpg', text)

Hi,
I tried findall:

for line in textonly2:
    results = re.findall(r'image\d+\.jpg', line)
    print(results)

Output:

Output:
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]

Empty list

I

Have removed punctuation, but I still need a code that will pull any sentence with image:

There are white spaces in between my text, whenever it finds an image sentence it needs to remove it. This is the text that should be removed from the above:

image003jpgimagejpegimage003jpg01D4E56EA5A4A0E0813720190401T123950truefalseimage001jpgimagejpegimage001jpg01D4E898B7AA95B0813720190401T123950truefalseNJS

It somewhat unclear what must be accomplished here. Isin't regex too complicated solution for achieving desired result? To get rid of 'jpg' containing chunks in row / sentence one can just:

In [1]: sentence = "image003jpgimagejpegimage003jpg01D4E56EA5A4A0E0813720190401T123950truefalseimage001jpgim

I modified your code and got this:
