More regex with re.search()
In this exercise, you'll utilize re.search()
and re.match()
to find specific tokens. Both search
and match
expect regex patterns, similar to those you defined in an earlier exercise. You'll apply these regex library methods to the same Monty Python text from the nltk
corpora.
You have both scene_one
and sentences
available from the last exercise; now you can use them with re.search()
and re.match()
to extract and match more text.
