[LikeToLMFAO]

Does anybody know what will be the pattern you need to use to get the 5th, 7th or 13th character of a string????

[Gr1pp717]

@LikeToLMFAO no need for a search, just use the index value. e.g. stringVar='this is the string' then the 3rd character ('i') is simply stringVar[2]

[LikeToLMFAO]

@Gr1pp717 thx!!!!

[justinrixx]

hetalksreallyfast!

[gcndavidmn]

Reminds me of Hawkeye from M*A*S*H*, I wish he could be my lecturer for everything.

[scottreddenify]

This is definately a suspenseful video... I almost wet myself when he got to re.findall

[guptachirag]

@scottreddenify :D

[swagatata]

whenever things get interesting, it means you're gonna be in big trouble :)

[Zeldakitteh]

r'\S+@\S+' worked nicely as a pattern for me when looking for an email. Of course this assumes there is whitespace infront of and after the email address.

[genesiswave117]

3 people find regular expressions too hard.

[kyerussell]

piiiiig!

[curryeater259]

hahahahahaha piiig

[evanarke]

someday everybody will be able to program. It will be even easier..

[TheZigius1]

THE CUP IS BACK!!! OMG!!!

[xxbondsxx]

@TheZigius1 ITS GOING TO FALL

[freakyinsanity]

@xxbondsxx as long as it doesnt land on ur freakin' head...leave the cup alone

[mightyjoeyoung1979]

BIIIIIG FAAAAN !!!!

[MrXStark]

Has anyone seen the re.match() expression occur in Iron Man 2? Look closely at the screens when Ivan Vanko builds his lightning thingy. The code pretty much looks like python.

[anzwertree]

@MrXStark Damn, now I'll have to watch it all over again.

[ExpressionsRegular]

I've never used regular expressions in Python before

[im2emo4myshrt]

Does anybody know why I cannot get baby*.html to work in windows 7? It doesn't seem to break it into a list of all files starting with baby, but instead just tries to open a file called baby*.html. When the script tries to open that file the program crashes.

[SMERSH009X]

@im2emo4myshrt paste your actual script on a code share site (like pastebin) , link it back here, and then maybe someone can help you

[Ryshu]

@im2emo4myshrt

I'm also wondering how to get baby* to work, even using the posted solution code, it just tries to open a file exactly named 'baby*.html' Did you figure it out, or is it just a "windows thing?"

[guywithpaddle]

On Windows, the shell doesn't do it for you. Try using a batch file to launch it:

for %%f in (c:\google-python-exercises\ba­bynames\baby*.html) do call babynames.py --summaryfile %%f

[bswopes]

Baby names database? Are congratulations in order?

[thebaron897]

It's not a regular expression dot, it's just a regular dot.

Genius

[TheBustyGamer]

ahhaa "okay well theres some poorly written css and whatever." classic. this teacher is the man.

[HollowMarkeD]

Anyone know how to run the assignment program on all the babyname files when using windows? I 'as error....

[JettPrograms]

social security administration baby names....?

[ThunderAppeal]

Regexp implementation in python is absolutely horrid, it is a friggin nightmare.

Perl's regexp is so much easier to utilize.

Python is so OOP crazy that they've convoluted the whole purpose that regexp is supposed to make extracting text/data easier.

One would think that considering that the python programmers lifted so much from perl they would have lifted this the same.

[JettPrograms]

@ThunderAppeal couldn't you write/find your own regular expressions module that you prefer? you're not tied down to the module that ships with python...

[ThunderAppeal]

@JettPrograms I'm not in the business of writing modules. Why cant python ship with regexp built in the right way like perl? And why is regexp in a seperate 'module' in the first place? What kind of stupid thing is that that I should have to write my own module for something as basic as regexp? If I were google and had deep pockets and employed programmers who have nothing better to do all day than write modules I might cook something up.

[bunniboo1414]

he says "like" enought o sink a ship

[Dejital]

Piiig.

Well... Alrighty then!

[ninetaildemon81]

Awesome Netscape T-shirt!

Real shame they went under, damn MS [insert favourite swear word here]

[sodahawk]

how much adderall XR is this guy on

[graveF34R]

ummm allrighteee then

[a11acce55]

They should have mic'ed the question-askers in the audiance a LOT better. Or at least have the lecturer repeat the questions a little better before answering. It's REAL annoying not being able to hear the questions. Otherwise an excellent coverage and presentation.

[darksaga2006]

i love the way he talks

[zeffii]

loving these python classes :)

[anzwertree]

Wow, this is super useful. I've never used regular expressions in Python before. This is awesome

[Foaman]

Personable guy. Easy to follow....

And at only 9:00, I've found 20 places to apply this.

[LOLSecliques]

nerd

[niesloanfreddy]

Allrighty!

[quigonjinntte]

@niesloanfreddy Made my day! :d

[kamsky1975]

I like his 'N' shirt. classic.

[sacredgeometry]

@kamsky1975 how the hell does he still have a netscape shirt :S
