[Tutor] variabel from raw input into re.search?

[Tommy Kaas]

You have 3 options, string concatenation, and two styles of formatting:

 

>>> name = 'Sir Arthur'

>>> '.*' + name + '.*'

'.*Sir Arthur.*'

>>> '.*%s.*' % (name, )

'.*Sir Arthur.*'

>>> '.*{0}.*'.format(name)

'.*Sir Arthur.*'

>>> '.*{name}.*'.format(name=name)

'.*Sir Arthur.*'

 

The last two examples are different ways to accomplish the same thing.

Thanks for the suggestion. Very useful.
