Hello NG,
I'm quite new to Python and I don't know if this is a FAQ (I can't
find it) or an obvious question. I'm using the RE module in python, and I
would like to be able to contruct something like the Window$ "Find Files Or
Folders" engine. As the Window$ users know, you can filter the file names
using the character "*", as:
myfilen* (Will find a file named myfilenames)
*yf*nam* (Will find a file named myfilenames)
I have tried something like:
import re
mystring = "*yf*nam*"
mystring.replace("*","\w+")
php = re.compile(mystring + "\w+")
But it does not work...
Is there a way to let the user of my application use the "*" character and
to do a Regular Expression search inside a Python code?
Thank you for every suggestion.
Andrea.
