this search re. search is the name of
695.279
5.441
the function in the re module that
698.639
4.121
allows you to pass in a few arguments
700.72
3.96
the first is going to be a pattern that
702.76
4.48
you want to search for in for instance a
704.68
5.12
string that came from a user the string
707.24
4.24
argument here is going to be the actual
709.8
3.039
string that you want to search for that
711.48
2.84
pattern and then there's a third
712.839
3.12
argument optionally that's a whole bunch
714.32
4.28
of flags a flag in general is like a a
715.959
4.641
parameter you can can pass in to modify
718.6
3.28
the behavior of the function but
720.6
2.64
initially we're not even going to use
721.88
2.759
this we're just going to pass in a
723.24
4.08
couple of arguments instead so let me go
724.639
6.161
ahead and employ this re Library this
727.32
5.84
regular expression library and just
730.8
4.56
improve on this design incrementally so
733.16
3.44
we're not going to solve this problem
735.36
2.919
all at once but we'll take some
736.6
3.679
incremental steps I'm going to go back
738.279
4.321
to VSS code here and I'm going to go
740.279
4.281
ahead now and get rid of most of this
742.6
3.96
code but I'm going to go into the top of
744.56
4.92
my file and first and all import this re
746.56
5.2
Library so import re gives me access to
749.48
4.359
that function and more now after I've
751.76
3.72
gotten the user's input in the same way
753.839
3.641
as before stripping off any leading or
755.48
3.88
trailing whitespace I'm just going to
757.48
4.2
use this function super trivially for
759.36
4.159
now even though this isn't really a big
761.68
5.04
step forward I'm going to say if re.
763.519
6.921
search contains quote unquote at in the
766.72
5.72
email address then let's go ahead and
770.44
4.24
print valid else let's go ahead and
772.44
4.6
print invalid at the moment this is
774.68
4.56
really no better than my very first
777.04
4.239
version where I was just asking python
779.24
5.599
if at sign in the email address but now
781.279
5.081
I'm at least beginning to use this
784.839
3.961
Library by using its own re. search
786.36
4.479
function which for now you can assume
788.8
5.479
returns a a True Value effectively if
790.839
6.041
indeed the at sign is an email just to
794.279
4.481
make sure that this version does work as
796.88
3.56
I expect let me go ahead and run python
798.76
4.28
of validate dopy and enter I'll type in
800.44
5
my actual email address and we're back
803.04
4.64
in business but of course this is not
805.44
4.16
great because if I similar Lally run
807.68
3.48
this version of the program and just
809.6
3.76
type in an at sign not an email address
811.16
3.919
and yet my code of course thinks it is
813.36
4.68
valid so how can I do better than this
815.079
5.56
well we need a bit more vocabulary in
818.04
4.4
the realm of regular expressions in
820.639
4.281
order to be able to express ourselves a
822.44
5
little more precisely really the pattern
824.92
4.4
I want to ultimately Define is going to
827.44
3.72
be something like I want there to be
829.32
4.439
something to the left then an at sign
831.16
4.44
then something to the right and that
833.759
3.841
something to the right should end with
835.6
4
edu but should also have something
837.6
4.64
before the edu like Harvard or Yale or
839.6
5.4
any other school in the US as well well
842.24
4.48
how can I go about doing this well it
845
4.32
turns out that in the world of regular
846.72
4.679
Expressions whether in python or a lot
849.32
3.879
of other languages as well there's
851.399
3.481
certain symbols that you can use to
853.199
4.08
define patterns at the moment I've just
854.88
4.879
used literal raw text if I go back to my
857.279
5.12
code here this technically qualifies as
859.759
5.561
a regular expression I've passed in a
862.399
5.521
quoted string inside of which is an at
865.32
4.72
sign now that's not a very interesting
867.92
3.839
pattern it's just an at sign but it
870.04
3.28
turns out that once you have access to
871.759
3.401
regular expressions or a library that
873.32
4.079
offers that feature you can more
875.16
5.239
powerfully express yourself as follows
877.399
4.841
let me reveal that the pattern that you
880.399
4.081
passed to re. search can take a whole
882.24
4.08
bunch of special symbols and here's just
884.48
3.919
some of them in the examples we're about
886.32
4.4
to see in the patterns we're about to
888.399
4.841
Define here are the special symbols you
890.72
4.96
can use a single period a DOT to just
893.24
4.599
represent any character except a new
895.68
4.399
line a blank line so that is to say if I
897.839
3.8
don't really care what letters of the
900.079
3.601
alphabet are in the user's username I
901.639
3.521
just want there to be one or more
903.68
4.2
characters uh in the user's name dot
905.16
4.84
allows me to express a through z
907.88
4
uppercase and lowercase and a bunch of
910
5.16
other letters as well star is going to
911.88
5.959
