Question

Alright, I’m no pro at RegExpression so can someone give me the reg expression that would select the display() and first_name in the following haystack string?:

$Question -> display();
$Person -> first_name;

Answer 1

Use ->\s+(.*);$

>>> re.search(r'->\s+(.*);$', '$Question -> display();').group(1)
'display()'
>>> re.search(r'->\s+(.*);$', '$Person -> first_name;').group(1)
'first_name'
