An improved version of commonly used regular expressions in Python
Inspired by and improved upon CommonRegex
This is a collection of commonly used regular expressions. This library provides a simple API interface to match the strings corresponding to specified patterns.
pip install --upgrade commonregex-improvedimport crim as CommonRegex
text = "John, please get that article on www.linkedin.com to me by 5:00PM on Jan 9th 2012. 4:00 would be ideal, actually or 5:30 P.M. If you have any questions, You can reach me at (519)-236-2723x341 or get in touch with my associate at [email protected]. You can find my ip address at 127.0.0.1 or at 64.248.67.225. I also have a secret protected with md5 8a2292371ee60f8212096c06fe3335fd. The internal webpage to get the article from is https://internal.sharepoint.edu.au"
date_list = CommonRegex.dates(text)
# ['Jan 9th 2012']
time_list = CommonRegex.times(text)
# ['5:00PM', '4:00 ', '5:30 P.M.']
url_list = CommonRegex.links(text)
# ['www.linkedin.com', 'gmail.com', 'https://internal.sharepoint.edu.au']
phone_list = CommonRegex.phones_with_exts(text)
# ['(519)-236-2723x341']
ip_list = CommonRegex.ips(text)
# ['127.0.0.1', '64.248.67.225']
email_list = CommonRegex.emails(text)
# ['[email protected]']
md5_list = CommonRegex.md5_hashes(text)
# ['8a2292371ee60f8212096c06fe3335fd']CommonRegex is awesome!
So why re-implement the popular original commonregex project? The API calls to each of the regular expressions are really slow.
It takes 12 seconds for a total of 2999 calls to Dates function in the original version of CommonRegex. While the improved version of CommonRegex with the same number of calls merely takes 2 seconds.
