If a string contains *SUBJECT123, how do I determine that the string has subject in it in python?
-
What is the relevance of "If a string contains *SUBJECT123"? Do you mean "How do I do a case-insensitive search"?John Machin– John Machin2010-07-28 08:59:30 +00:00Commented Jul 28, 2010 at 8:59

you can use the lower() method
If you want to have subject match SUBJECT, you could use re
import re
if re.search('subject', your_string, re.IGNORECASE)
Or you could transform the string to lower case first and simply use:
if "subject" in your_string.lower()

Just another way
mystring.find("subject")
the above answers will return true if the string contains "subject" and false otherwise. While find will return its position in the string if it exists else a negative number.

if "*SUGJECT123" in mystring and "subject" in mystring:
# do something
