verbalexpressions使用方法

verbalexpressions可以帮你非常容易的使用正则表达式，你不需要记忆特别难记的正则表达式符号。
以下是它的使用方法：

Testing if we have a valid URL

from verbal_expressions import  VerEx
import os,sys

verbal_expression = VerEx() 
tester = (verbal_expression.#tester可以作为正则对象去使用
        start_of_line().
        find('http').
        maybe('s').
        find('://').
        maybe('www.').
        anything_but(' ').
        end_of_line()
        )       
# Create an example URL
test_url = "https://www.google.com"
# Test if the URL is valid
if tester.search(test_url):
        print "Valid URL"
#Print the generated regex
print tester.source() # => ^(http)(s)?(\:\/\/)(www\.)?([^\ ]*)$

Replacing strings

#Create a test string
replace_me = "Replace bird with a duck"

#Create an expression that looks for the word "bird"
expression = VerEx().find('bird')

#Execute the expression in VerEx
result_VerEx = expression.replace(replace_me, 'duck')
print result_VerEx

#Or we can compile and use the regular expression using re
import re
regexp = expression.compile()
result_re = regexp.sub('duck', replace_me)
print result_re

Shorthand for string replace

result = VerEx().find('red').replace('We have a red house', 'blue')
print result
