Hi, I'd need to perform simple pattern matching within a string using a list of possible patterns. For example, I want to know if the substring starting at position n matches any of the string I have a list, as below:
sentence = "the color is $red" patterns = ["blue","red","yellow"] pos = sentence.find($) # here I need to find whether what's after 'pos' matches any of the strings of my 'patterns' list bmatch = ismatching( sentence[pos:], patterns) Is an equivalent of this ismatching() function existing in some Python lib? Thanks, Olivier. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
