I know I'm an idiot, but I can't pull the domain out of this email address:
'[email protected]'
My desired output:
'@gmail.com'
My current output:
.
(it's just a period character)
Here's my code:
import re
test_string = '[email protected]'
domain = re.search('@*?\.', test_string)
print domain.group()
Here's what I think my regular expression says ('@*?.', test_string):
' # begin to define the pattern I'm looking for (also tell python this is a string)
@ # find all patterns beginning with the at symbol ("@")
* # find all characters after ampersand
? # find the last character before the period
\ # breakout (don't use the next character as a wild card, us it is a string character)
. # find the "." character
' # end definition of the pattern I'm looking for (also tell python this is a string)
, test string # run the preceding search on the variable "test_string," i.e., '[email protected]'
I'm basing this off the definitions here:
http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/4.4/regex-intro.html
Also, I searched but other answers were a bit too difficult for me to get my head around.
Help is much appreciated, as usual. Thanks.
My stuff if it matters:
Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
Python 2.6 (64 bit)
PS. StackOverflow quesiton: My posts don't include new lines unless I hit "return" twice in between them. For example (these are all on a different line when I'm posting):
@ - find all patterns beginning with the at symbol ("@") * - find all characters after ampersand ? - find the last character before the period \ - breakout (don't use the next character as a wild card, us it is a string character) . - find the "." character , test string - run the preceding search on the variable "test_string," i.e., '[email protected]'
That's why I got a blank line b/w every line above. What am I doing wrong? Thx.
