Hi,
This example is from the link:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/RegularExpression
I have thought about it quite a while without a clue yet. I notice that it uses
double quote ", in contrast to ' which I see more often until now.
It looks very complicated to me. Could you simplified it to a simple example?
Thanks,
import re
split_up = re.split(r"(\(\([^)]+\)\))",
"This is a ((test)) of the ((emergency broadcasting station.))")
...which produces:
["This is a ", "((test))", " of the ", "((emergency broadcasting station.))" ]
