Scripting and automation tasks often need to extract particular portions of text from input data or modify them from one format to another. This book will help you learn Regular Expressions, a mini-programming language for all sorts of text processing needs.
The book heavily leans on examples to present features of regular expressions one by one. It is recommended that you manually type each example and experiment with them. Understanding both the nature of sample input string and the output produced is essential. As an analogy, consider learning to drive a bike or a car - no matter how much you read about them or listen to explanations, you need to practice a lot and infer your own conclusions. Should you feel that copy-paste is ideal for you, code snippets are available chapter wise on GitHub.
The examples presented here have been tested with Python version 3.7.1 and may include features not available in earlier versions. Unless otherwise noted, all examples and explanations are meant for ASCII characters only. The examples are copy pasted from Python REPL shell, but modified slightly for presentation purposes (like adding comments and blank lines, shortened error messages, skipping import statements, etc).
