how do I use f-string with regex in Python

Viewed 22159

This code works if I use raw strings only but as soon as I add f to r. It stops working. Is there a way to make f-strings work with raw strings for re?

import re

lines = '''

    04/20/2009; 04/20/09; 4/20/09; 4/3/09
    Mar-20-2009; Mar 20, 2009; March 20, 2009; Mar. 20, 2009; Mar 20 2009;
    20 Mar 2009; 20 March 2009; 20 Mar. 2009; 20 March, 2009

'''
rmonth = 'a'
regex = fr'(\d{1,2})/(\d{1,2})/(\d{4}|\d{2})'
date_found = re.findall(regex, lines)

date_found
