python核心编程-正则表达式之-边界匹配

import re

#在开头
m = re.search('^The', 'The end.')
if m is not None:
    print m.group()
print '1>>>>>>>>>>>>>'

#不在开头
m = re.search('^The', 'end. The')
if m is not None:
    print m.group()
print '2>>>>>>>>>>>>>'

#\b匹配边界词
m = re.search(r'\bthe', 'bite the dog')
if m is not None:
    print m.group()
print '3>>>>>>>>>>>>>'

m = re.search(r'\bthe', 'bitethe dog')
if m is not None:
    print m.group()
print '4>>>>>>>>>>>>>'

#\B 是 \b的反义词
m = re.search(r'\Bthe', 'bitethe dog')
if m is not None:
    print m.group()
print '5>>>>>>>>>>>>>'
