Regex on more than one line ? - JohnnyCoffee - Mar-11-2020 I have a regular expression that is long how do I organize the regex by skipping lines just so it doesn't get too long, ex : var = re.match(r"my.................................................................................regex too long", string)how can i continue writing the regex by skipping line ? RE: Regex on more than one line ? - micseydel - Mar-11-2020 Try implicit string concatenation: var = re.match( r"my.." # comment here r"........" # comment here r"........" r"...............................................................regex too long", string) RE: Regex on more than one line ? - snippsat - Mar-12-2020 There is what re.VERBOSE is made for splitting up long regex and eg adding comments. import re email = re.compile(r""" [\w.]+ # match any alphanumeric character or a period @ # match the character literally \w+\.[a-z]{3} # Any character followed by period and exactly three lower-case letters""", re.VERBOSE) print(email.findall('[email protected] [email protected]') The same as.import re email = re.compile(r'[\w.]+@\w+\.[a-z]{3}') print(email.findall('[email protected] [email protected]'))
