Regular Expressions

Regular Expressions allow us to search for patterns in strings and extract data from strings using the regular expression programming language.

单选题（1-8）

1. What character do you add to the “+” or “*” to indicate that the match is to be done in a non-greedy manner?

• ^
• ++
• ?
• g
• $
• **

2. What will the ‘$’ regular expression match?

• An empty line
• The end of a line
• The beginning of a line
• A dollar sign
• A new line at the end of a line

3. What would the following mean in a regular expression? [a-z0-9]

• Match anything but a lowercase letter or digit
• Match a lowercase letter or a digit
• Match any number of lowercase letters followed by any number of digits
• Match any text that is surrounded by square braces
• Match an entire line as long as it is lowercase letters or digits

4. What is the type of the return value of the re.findall() method?

• A string
• A boolean
• A list of strings
• A single character
• An integer

5. What is the “wild card” character in a regular expression (i.e., the character that matches any character)?

• +
• ^
• $
• ?
• *
• .

6. What is the difference between the “+” and “*” character in regular expressions?

• The “+” matches upper case characters and the “*” matches lowercase characters
• The “+” matches the actual plus character and the “*” matches any character
• The “+” matches at least one character and the “*” matches zero or more characters
• The “+” matches the beginning of a line and the “*” matches the end of a line
• The “+” indicates “start of extraction” and the “*” indicates the “end of extraction”

7. What does the “[0-9]+” match in a regular expression?

• Several digits followed by a plus sign
• Any mathematical expression
• One or more digits
• Zero or more digits
• Any number of digits at the beginning of a line

8. What does the following Python sequence print out?

x = 'From: Using the : character'
y = re.findall('^F.+:', x)
print(y)

• :
• [‘From:’]
• ^F.+:
• From:
• [‘From: Using the :’]

Regular Expressions

Finding Numbers in a Haystack

In this assignment you will read through and parse a file with text and numbers. You will extract all the numbers in the file and compute the sum of the numbers.

Data Files
We provide two files for this assignment. One is a sample file where we give you the sum for your testing and the other is the actual data you need to process for the assignment.

• Sample data: http://py4e-data.dr-chuck.net/regex_sum_42.txt
  (There are 90 values with a sum=445833)
• Actual data: http://py4e-data.dr-chuck.net/regex_sum_1577741.txt
  (There are 78 values and the sum ends with 783)

These links open in a new window. Make sure to save the file into the same folder as you will be writing your Python program. Note: Each student will have a distinct data file for the assignment - so only use your own data file for analysis.

Data Format
The file contains much of the text from the introduction of the textbook except that random numbers are inserted throughout the text. Here is a sample of the output you might see:

Why should you learn to write programs? 7746
12 1929 8827
Writing programs (or programming) is a very creative 
7 and rewarding activity.  You can write programs for 
many reasons, ranging from making your living to solving
8837 a difficult data analysis problem to having fun to helping 128
someone else solve a problem.  This book assumes that 
everyone needs to know how to program ...

The sum for the sample text above is 27486. The numbers can appear anywhere in the line. There can be any number of numbers in each line (including none).

Handling The Data
The basic outline of this problem is to read the file, look for integers using the re.findall(), looking for a regular expression of ‘[0-9]+’ and then converting the extracted strings to integers and summing up the integers.
