Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. I tried to use look ahead assertions, in
particular I modified the regex this way:
newstring = re.sub(ur"""(?u)(\$\"[\s\w(?<=\\)\"]+\")""", subst, oldstring)
but it does not work. I'm absolutely not a regex guru so I'm surely missing
something. The strings I'm dealing with are similar to formulas, let's say
something like:
'$["simple_input"]+$["messed_\\"_input"]+10'
Thanks for any help!
Your original post said you wanted to match strings like:
$"somechars_with\\"doublequotes".
This regex will do that:
ur'\$"[^"\\]*(?:\\.[^"\\]*)*"'
However, now you say you want to match:
'$["simple_input"]'
This is different; it has '[' immediately after the '$' instead of '"'.
