So, I'm working on a script in Python 3, and I need something like this
control_input=input(prompt_029)
if only string_029 and int in control_input:
#do something
else:
#do something else
Basically, I am asking for code that would have condition like this:
if control_input == "[EXACT_string_here] [ANY_integer_here]"
How would the code look like in Python 3?
What you want is to do a regular expression match. Take a look at the re module.
>>> import re
>>> control_input="prompt_029"
>>> if re.match('^prompt_[0-9]+$',control_input):
... print("Matches Format")
... else:
... print("Doesn't Match Format")
...
Matches Format
The regular expression ^prompt_[0-9]+$ matches the following:
^ # The start of the string
prompt_ # The literal string 'prompt_'
[0-9]+ # One or more digit
$ # The end of the string
If the number must contain exactly three digits then you could use ^prompt_[0-9]{3}$ or for a maximum of three then try ^prompt_[0-9]{1,3}$.
Without regular expression
>>> myvar = raw_input("input: ")
input: string 1
>>> myvar
'string 1'
>>> string, integer = myvar.strip().split()
>>> "[EXACT_string_here] [ANY_integer_here]" == "{} {}".format(string, integer)
True
