How to use regex to match characters between a keyword and a delimiting character: Python?-CodePudding

I am trying to learn regex, I am stuck in this problem where I have to match all characters between a keyword and a delimiting character.

For e.g.

in_str="hello world, pincode 80 21 61 (just an example)"

if the keyword is 'pincode' and the delimiting character is '(' , the output has to be 80 21 61 because this lies between the keyword and the character.

Edit: This is the logic I have tried so far, m = re.search(r"(?<=pincode)(.*)(?=()", in_str) where I am matching the keyword and the delimiter, but it does not seem to work (I am getting no match)

Any help to solve this will be much appreciated!

CodePudding user response：

import re

str = "hello world, pincode 80 21 61 (just an example)"
result = re.search('pincode(.*)\(', str)
print(result.group(1))

I suggest that do not copy and paste this code, go online and learn this method and learn how it works.
