Hi,
If I do
import re
pattern =
re.compile(r'(?P<days>\d*)(-?)(?P<hours>\d\d):(?P<minutes>\d\d):(?P<seconds>\d\d)')
s = '104-02:47:06'
match = pattern.search(s)
match_dict = match.groupdict('0')
I get
match_dict
{'days': '104', 'hours': '02', 'minutes': '47', 'seconds': '06'}
However, if the string has no initial part (corresponding to the number of
days), e.g.
s = '02:47:06'
match = pattern.search(s)
match_dict = match.groupdict('0')
I get
match_dict
{'days': '', 'hours': '02', 'minutes': '47', 'seconds': '06'}
I thought that 'days' would default to '0'.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
Loris
