Hello, Once again struggling with regular expressions.
I have a string that look like "something_shp1". I want to replace "_shp1" by "_shp". I'm never sure if it's going to be 1, if there's going to be a number after "_shp". So I'm trying to use regular expression to perform this replacement. But I just can't seem to get a match! I always get a None match. I would think that this would have done the job: r = re.compile( r"(_shp\d)$" ) The only way I have found to get a match, is using r = re.compile( r"(\S+_shp\d)$" ) My second question is related more to the actual string replacement. Using regular expressions, what would be the way to go? I have tried the following: newstring = r.sub( '_shp', oldstring ) But the new string is always "_shp" instead of "something_shp".
