I have a piece of code that is trying to insert 'i' into an f-string during a for loop. However, I want Python to filter this out based on whether 'i' contains a certain string ('nogood'). I noticed it works with '=' or 'in' but NOT 'like'. I've tried the following but it doesn't compile...

i_list = ['hello', 'good', 'bad', 'bye', 'yup', 'yupnogood', 'hellogood']
final_list = [f"{i}_hello" for i in temp_list if i like '%good%']

Do you know if there is a shorthand way to get the wildcard search implemented in there (if it is good practice to do so)?

CodePudding user response：

For this simple form of wildcard search, you can use the in operator:

i_list = ['hello', 'good', 'bad', 'bye', 'yup', 'yupnogood', 'hellogood']
final_list = [f"{i}_hello" for i in temp_list if 'nogood' in i]

If you want something more complex, you could look into regular expressions.
