[Tutor] using re to match text and extract info

[Emmanuel Ruellan]

What's wrong with the phone number?

>>> phoneNumber.search(line).groups()
('03', '88', '23', '05', '66')

This looks fine to me.

Here is a regex that splits the line into several named groups. Test it with
other strings, though

>>> line = "ALSACE 67000 Strasbourg 24 rue de la Division Leclerc 03 88 23
05 66 strasbourg at artisansdumonde.org"

>>> details_re =
re.compile(r'(?P<region>^\D+)(?P<postcode>\d+)\s+(?P<town>[\D\s]+)(?P<address>.+?)(?P<phone>\d{2}
\d{2} \d{2} \d{2}
\d{2})\s+(?P<email>[\w\-][\w\-\.]+@[\w\-][\w\-\.]+[a-zA-Z]{1,4})')

>>> m = details_re.search(line)

>>> print m.groups()
('ALSACE ', '67000', 'Strasbourg ', '24 rue de la Division Leclerc ', '03 88
23 05 66', 'strasbourg at artisansdumonde.org')

>>> print m.group('phone')
03 88 23 05 66

>>> print m.group('email')
strasbourg at artisansdumonde.org
