I got the meaning of | (pipe special character) in regex, Python.
It matches either 1st or 2nd.
ex : a|b Matches either a or b.
My question:
What if I want to match is a with case sensitive and b with case insensitive in above example?
ex:
s = "Welcome to PuNe, Maharashtra"
result1 = re.search("punnee|MaHaRaShTrA",s)
result2 = re.search("pune|maharashtra",s)
result3 = re.search("PuNe|MaHaRaShTrA",s)
result4 = re.search("P|MaHaRaShTrA",s)
I want to search Pune in the way I have written in above statement s i.e PuNe. But I have to search Maharashtra by ignoring case. How can I search 1 word with case sensitive and other with case insensitive? So that, result1, result2, result3, result4 will give not null value.
I tried:
result1 = re.search("pune|MaHaRaShTrA",s1, re.IGNORECASE)
But this ignores the cases for both the words.
How can I restrict 1 word as case sensitive and other as case insensitive?
