How to use Shell wildcards to match strings in python

This article introduces how to use shell wildcards to match strings in python. The content is very detailed. Interested friends can use it for reference. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Shell wildcard match string

You want to match strings with Unix Shell wildcards (* .py, * .csv).

The fnmatch module provides two functions, fnmatch () and fnmatchcase (), which can be used to achieve such a match. The usage is as follows:

> from fnmatch import fnmatch,fnmatchcase

> fnmatchcase ("python.py", "* .py")

True

> names = ["hello.py", "python.py", "1.txt", 'helloC.c']

> names

['hello.py',' python.py', '1.txtbrush,' helloC.c']

> [name for name in names if fnmatchcase (name, "* .py")]

['hello.py',' python.py']

These two functions are also useful when dealing with strings that are not filenames. For example, suppose you have a list of street addresses:

> addresses = [

'5412 N CLARK ST'

'1060 W ADDISON ST'

'1039 W GRANVILLE AVE'

'2122 N CLARK ST'

'4802 N BROADWAY'

]

> result = [place for place in addresses if fnmatchcase (place, "* ST")] # ST ending

> result

['5412 N CLARK ST',' 1060 W ADDISON ST', '2122 N CLARK ST']

> result = [place for place in addresses if fnmatchcase (place, "54 [1-9] [1-9] * CLARK*ST")]

> result # 54 begins with CLARK

['5412 N CLARK ST']
