I have a lot of if/elif cases based on regular expressions that I'm using to
filter stdin and using print to stdout. Often I want to print something
matched within the regular expression and the moment I've got a lot of cases
like:
...
elif re.match("^DATASET:\s*(.+) ", line):
m=re.match("^DATASET:\s*(.+) ", line)
print m.group(1))
which is ugly because of the duplication but I can't think of a nicer of way
of doing this that will allow for a lot of these sorts of cases. Any
suggestions?
