I'm trying to formulate a regex search to see if this exact string, ''op_single_selector" exists in this line of text:
-> [!div class="op_single_selector"]
This is what I have now that's not working:
selector_string = False single_selector_regex_search_string = re.compile(r"[\+-]>\s\[op_single_selector\]") if single_selector_regex_search_string.search(file_information.patch): selector_string = True
Are you trying to parse HTML with regex?
You can just use the
in operator.if target in search_string:However if its HTML, then something like BeautifulSoup is better.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
data = '''
<html>
<body>
<div class="op_single_selector">
content
</div>
</body>
</html>
'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')
search = soup.find('div', class_='op_single_selector')
if search:
#there is a class op_single_selectoror similarprint('op_single_selector' in soup.div['class'])Output:True
