我如何找到两个子字符串('123STRINGabc' -> '字符串')之间的字符串?

我现在的方法是这样的:

>>> start = 'asdf=5;'
>>> end = '123jasd'
>>> s = 'asdf=5;iwantthis123jasd'
>>> print((s.split(start))[1].split(end)[0])
iwantthis

然而,这似乎非常低效且不符合python规则。有什么更好的方法来做这样的事情吗?

忘了说: 字符串可能不是以start和end开始和结束的。他们可能会有更多的字符之前和之后。

这些解决方案假设起始字符串和最终字符串是不同的。下面是当初始和最终指示符相同时,我用于整个文件的解决方案,假设整个文件是使用readlines()读取的:

def extractstring(line,flag='$'):
    if flag in line: # $ is the flag
        dex1=line.index(flag)
        subline=line[dex1+1:-1] #leave out flag (+1) to end of line
        dex2=subline.index(flag)
        string=subline[0:dex2].strip() #does not include last flag, strip whitespace
    return(string)

例子:

lines=['asdf 1qr3 qtqay 45q at $A NEWT?$ asdfa afeasd',
    'afafoaltat $I GOT BETTER!$ derpity derp derp']
for line in lines:
    string=extractstring(line,flag='$')
    print(string)

给:

A NEWT?
I GOT BETTER!

其他回答

要提取STRING,请尝试:

myString = '123STRINGabc'
startString = '123'
endString = 'abc'

mySubString=myString[myString.find(startString)+len(startString):myString.find(endString)]
from timeit import timeit
from re import search, DOTALL


def partition_find(string, start, end):
    return string.partition(start)[2].rpartition(end)[0]


def re_find(string, start, end):
    # applying re.escape to start and end would be safer
    return search(start + '(.*)' + end, string, DOTALL).group(1)


def index_find(string, start, end):
    return string[string.find(start) + len(start):string.rfind(end)]


# The wikitext of "Alan Turing law" article form English Wikipeida
# https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alan_Turing_law&action=edit&oldid=763725886
string = """..."""
start = '==Proposals=='
end = '==Rival bills=='

assert index_find(string, start, end) \
       == partition_find(string, start, end) \
       == re_find(string, start, end)

print('index_find', timeit(
    'index_find(string, start, end)',
    globals=globals(),
    number=100_000,
))

print('partition_find', timeit(
    'partition_find(string, start, end)',
    globals=globals(),
    number=100_000,
))

print('re_find', timeit(
    're_find(string, start, end)',
    globals=globals(),
    number=100_000,
))

结果:

index_find 0.35047444528454114
partition_find 0.5327825636197754
re_find 7.552149639286381

在这个例子中,Re_find几乎比index_find慢20倍。

这本质上是cji的答案——7月30日10日5:58。 我更改了try except结构,以便更清楚地说明导致异常的原因。

def find_between( inputStr, firstSubstr, lastSubstr ):
'''
find between firstSubstr and lastSubstr in inputStr  STARTING FROM THE LEFT
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3368969/find-string-between-two-substrings
        above also has a func that does this FROM THE RIGHT   
'''
start, end = (-1,-1)
try:
    start = inputStr.index( firstSubstr ) + len( firstSubstr )
except ValueError:
    print '    ValueError: ',
    print "firstSubstr=%s  -  "%( firstSubstr ), 
    print sys.exc_info()[1]

try:
    end = inputStr.index( lastSubstr, start )       
except ValueError:
    print '    ValueError: ',
    print "lastSubstr=%s  -  "%( lastSubstr ), 
    print sys.exc_info()[1]

return inputStr[start:end]    

这对我来说似乎更直接:

import re

s = 'asdf=5;iwantthis123jasd'
x= re.search('iwantthis',s)
print(s[x.start():x.end()])

您可以简单地使用这段代码或复制下面的函数。全都整齐地排在一条线上。

def substring(whole, sub1, sub2):
    return whole[whole.index(sub1) : whole.index(sub2)]

如果按照如下方式运行该函数。

print(substring("5+(5*2)+2", "(", "("))

你可能会得到这样的输出:

(5*2

而不是

5*2

如果您希望在输出的末尾有子字符串,代码必须如下所示。

return whole[whole.index(sub1) : whole.index(sub2) + 1]

但如果不希望子字符串在末尾,则+1必须在第一个值上。

return whole[whole.index(sub1) + 1 : whole.index(sub2)]
