Regular expressions in Python

[Duh]

As posted on another forum (WHT) :


Hi, I would like to know which would be the appropriate code (using regular expressions) to find a proxy address which is ''floating'' in a web site.
I found a synonym in Perl.



the RE ( regular expression ) I found is in perl, any idea of a similar but for python? Mine does not contemplate the second part of a proxy address ( the '':'' and the part number)

many thanks in advance

Regular expressions are language independent. If one works in perl it must work in python.

thanks, it helped me clear out, mate! Fact is that I still need the : and the port number

This:


\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}(\:\d{1,5})?\b

should work.

Without making it overly long and confusing, it will easily match 0.0.0.0 all the way to 999.999.999.999:99999. More specific is possible obviously but disgusting.

Sorry for the thread revival but this regex does not fit this particular proxy for instance.

Thanks
