According to Python documentationPython does not currently have an equivalent to scanf(). Regular expressions are generally more powerful, though also more verbose, than scanf() format strings. The table below offers some more-or-less equivalent mappings between scanf() format tokens and regular expressions.scanf() TokenRegular Expression%c.%5c.{5}%d[-+]?\d+%e, %E, %f, %g[-+]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][-+]?\d+)?%i[-+]?(0[xX][\dA-Fa-f]+|0[0-7]*|\d+)%o[-+]?[0-7]+%s\S+%u\d+%x, %X[-+]?(0[xX])?[\dA-Fa-f]+To extract the filename and ...

The following code uses a regular expression '(a|b)' to match a or b in the given Python string.We are also using the flag re.I to ignore case of a or b while matching. Example import re s = 'Bank of Baroda' print(re.findall(r'(a|b)', s, re.I))OutputThis gives the output['B', 'a', 'B', ... Read More

You can subtract a day from a Python date using the timedelta object. You need to create a timedelta object with the amount of time you want to subtract.

You can use the fromtimestamp() function from the datetime module to get a date from a UNIX timestamp. This function takes the timestamp as input and returns the datetime object corresponding to the timestamp.  Exmaple import datetime timestamp = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1500000000) print(timestamp.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))OutputThis will give the output −2017-07-14 08:10:00Read More

The following code demonstrates the use of variables in Python regex.The variable cannot contain any special or meta characters or regular expression.
