Regular Expression Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition

Name

RegExp

Regular expression objects are created with the re.compile function.

flags

Return the flags argument used when the object was compiled, or 0.

groupindex

Return a dictionary that maps symbolic group names to group numbers.

pattern

Return the pattern string used when the object was compiled.

match(string [, pos [, endpos]])search(string [, pos [, endpos]])split(string [, maxsplit=0])sub(repl, string [, count=0])subn(repl, string [, count=0])findall(string)

Same as the re module functions, except pattern is implied. pos and endpos give start and end string indexes for the match.
