Regex - How to exclude group of characters in python

To exclude a group of characters in Python using regular expressions, you can use a negative character set. Here's how you can do it:

import re # Your text text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." # Define the pattern to exclude certain characters pattern = r'[^aeiouAEIOU\s]+' # Find all matches matches = re.findall(pattern, text) # Print the matches print(matches)

Explanation:

  • [^aeiouAEIOU\s]: This is a negative character set that matches any character except for the specified characters (vowels) and whitespace characters.
  • +: Matches one or more occurrences of the pattern.
  • re.findall(): Finds all non-overlapping matches of the pattern in the string.

This code will print a list of strings containing all words from the input text excluding vowels and whitespace characters: ['Th', 'qck', 'brwn', 'fx', 'jmps', 'vr', 'th', 'lzy', 'dg.']. Adjust the pattern and text variable according to your specific requirements.

Examples

  1. Regex to match a pattern excluding certain characters in Python

    import re text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" pattern = re.compile(r'[^aeiou\s]+') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This regex pattern matches sequences of characters excluding vowels and whitespace characters.

  2. How to use negative character class in Python regex

    import re text = "The cat in the hat" pattern = re.compile(r'[^aeiou]') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This regex pattern matches any character that is not a vowel in the given text.

  3. Excluding specific characters from a regex match in Python

    import re text = "Python is awesome!" pattern = re.compile(r'[^aeiou]') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This code demonstrates how to use a negative character class to exclude vowels from a regex match.

  4. Python regex to exclude digits from a match

    import re text = "I have 5 apples and 3 oranges" pattern = re.compile(r'\D+') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This regex pattern matches sequences of non-digit characters, effectively excluding digits from the match.

  5. How to exclude specific characters from a regex match in Python

    import re text = "Hello 123 World!" pattern = re.compile(r'[^0-9\s]') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This code uses a negative character class to exclude digits and whitespace characters from the regex match.

  6. Python regex to exclude alphabetic characters from a match

    import re text = "12345abcde67890" pattern = re.compile(r'\d+') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This regex pattern matches sequences of digits, effectively excluding alphabetic characters from the match.

  7. Excluding specific characters from regex search in Python

    import re text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" pattern = re.compile(r'[^a-z\s]') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This code excludes lowercase alphabetic characters and whitespace characters from the regex match.

  8. How to exclude a range of characters from regex match in Python

    import re text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" pattern = re.compile(r'[^a-m\s]') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This regex pattern matches characters outside the range from 'a' to 'm' and whitespace characters.

  9. Python regex to exclude specific special characters from match

    import re text = "Hello! How are you?" pattern = re.compile(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This code uses a negative character class to exclude alphanumeric characters and whitespace characters from the match.

  10. Excluding certain characters from regex match in Python

    import re text = "Python 3.9 is the latest version" pattern = re.compile(r'[^\d\s.]+') matches = pattern.findall(text) print(matches)

    Description: This regex pattern matches sequences of characters excluding digits, whitespace, and periods.
