Hi there!
I have a problem and i'm not very good at regular expressions.
I have a text like "lalala lalala tiruri beldar-is-listening tiruri
lalala" I need a regexp to get the 'beldar' part, the format is
'something-is-listening', i need to get the something part, use it in
my code, and then replace the whole 'something-is-listening' for
another string.
\w+ will match a word and enclosing it in (...) will capture what was
matched:
m = re.search(r"(\w+)-is-listening", text)
print "Captured '%s'" % m.group(1)
print "Matched from %d to %d" % (m.start(), m.end())
Ok, thank you all, it was very helpful!
Wow, I really need to learn more about regexp...
Any tutorials you guys can recommend?

Mastering Regular Expressions
Powerful Techniques for Perl and Other Tools

Great book!

I have the first edition, seventh printing (December 1998). It refers to
the 'regex' module of Python 1.4b1, which was subsequently replaced by
the current 're' module and then removed from the standard library. I
hope it's been updated since then. :-)
