Is there a way in Python to split a string on two different keys?
Say I have a string like this:
mystr = "wketjwlektjwltjkw<br/>wwwweltjwetlkwjww" + \
"wwetlwjtwlet<strong>wwwwketjwlektjwlk</strong"
I'd like to split on EITHER <br/>wwww or <strong>wwww.
How should I do this?
Thanks!


import re
re.split(r'<(br\/|strong)>wwww', mystr)[::2]

I have a question regarding my code below:
Input: A DNA string Pattern (ex: 'AAAACCCGGT')
Output: The complementary string (ex: 'TTTTGGGCCA')
def Complement(Pattern):
comPattern=Pattern.translate(str.maketrans({'A':'T','T':'A','G':'C','C':'G'}))
return comPattern
I tried using str.replace() method multiple times for above problem, but it did not work. Any idea why?

I want to make a list of several PNG in a folder based on multiple references. So in the list I want the PNG that have the string "7029113" OR "7031503" in their name. This is what I got so far, I only need to know how to do OR with regex, and probably my wildcards are wrong too I'm not sure.
render_path = "C:/BatchRender/Renaming"
os.chdir(render_path)
list_files = glob.glob("*.png")
r = re.compile(".*7029113.*" OR ".*7031503.*")
list_40 = list(filter(r.match, list_files))

This is one way of doing it.
r = re.compile('.*(7029113|7031503).*')

Is there a cleaner, less dense way to write this boolean?

In case of if, you could use any to check for the occurrence of either of the two strings
if any(i in random_word for i in ["a_string", "b_string"]):

You can use a regular expression.
import re
if re.search(r'a_string|b_string', random_word):

I need to split the string everytime ; shows up.
words = "LightOn;LightOff;LightStatus;LightClientHello;"
Output should be something like this:
LightOn
LightOff
LightStatus
LightClientHello
Simply, everytime it finds ; in a string, it has to split it.
Thank you for help

res = words.split(";")

How do I split a string into a list of words?

I have an index where words are split in syllabes in the form 'foo-bar' and I want to create the list ['foo', 'bar'].
I am new to python, and especially to the re module. So do I ask for the best way to do this instead of writing ugly code.

There is no need of using any module. Use the inbuilt string split method.
a = "a-b-cde"
b = a.split('-')
#b contains ['a','b','cde']
