Hello
After downloading a web page, I need to search for several patterns,
and if found, extract information and put them into a database.
To avoid a bunch of "if m", I figured maybe I could use a dictionary
to hold the patterns, and loop through it:
Good idea.
import re
pattern = {}
pattern["pattern1"] = ">.+?</td>.+?>(.+?)</td>"
... = re.compile("...")
for key,value in pattern.items():
for name, regex in ...
response = ">whatever</td>.+?>Blababla</td>"
#AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'search'
Correct, only compiled re patterns have search, better naming would make
error obvious.
m = key.search(response)
m = regex.search(response)
if m:
print key + "#" + value
print name + '#' + regex
