Hello,
I have a string like:
string = "WHITE/CLARET/PINK/XL"
which I need to alter to this format:
string = "WHITE-CLARET-PINK/XL"
I developed the below functions to do so. However, something is wrong
with my regular expression. It currently matches with the following:
/CLARET
/PINK
/XL
I thought perhaps I could exclude the match that includes the end of the
string with someting like this:
r"([/]\w+[^$])"
but that didnt work either. Can anyone tell me how to exclude the last
match? The one with the end of the string "/XL".
Thanks a million,
Derek Basch

import re
string = "WHITE/CLARET/PINK/XL"
def replace_fs(thematch):
thematch = thematch.group(1)
thematch = "-" + thematch[1:]
return thematch
bs_regex = re.compile(r"([/]\w+)").sub(replace_fs, str(string))
print bs_regex
