Question

I am starting learning Python and i have problem with regex and python.

I want to check if word prefix is “aa” and suffix”bb”. But i can only check prefix. Could you write some simple regexp for checking prefix and suffix is satisfied.

bool(re.match(regexp, word))

Answer 1

You can do it without regex:

word.startswith("aa") and word.endswith("bb")

or with regex:

bool(re.match("^aa.+bb$", word))
