Replace string with double quotes + string using regex

Question

I want to replace a string with (double quotes + string). Need to use it into python.

Input : {responseHeader:{status:0,QTime:94}}

Output : {"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":94}}

Tried /[^\d\W]+/g regex to get only string but don't know how to replace it with (double quotes + string).

Your input data doesn't have single quotes. Is it a JSON data? — Mauro Baraldi

My input doesn't have single quotes. Input data which I am getting as from different source that already not in JSON. That's why I need to convert it into JSON. — iNikkz

Try this

>>> import re
>>> inp = '{responseHeader:{status:0,QTime:94}}'
>>> re.sub(r'([a-zA-Z]+)',r'"\1"',inp)
'{"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":94}}'

([a-zA-Z]+)

Try this.Replace by "\1".See demo.

import re
p = re.compile(r'([a-zA-Z]+)', re.MULTILINE)
test_str = "{responseHeader:{status:0,QTime:94}}"
subst = "\"\1\""

result = re.sub(p, subst, test_str)
