Submitted by Shivang Yadav, on March 10, 2021

The regular expression in Python is a search pattern formed by a sequence of characters.

The search() method is used to search for the occurrence of regex patterns in the string.

Syntax:

regex.match(regexPattern, string, flag)

Let's take an example to understand the problem,

Input:
string = "learn python programming language at includehelp" ; pattern = '(.*) at (.*?)'

Output:
Search Item Found

Program to illustrate the working of our solution

import re

myString = "learn python programming language at includehelp"

searchObject = re.search( r'(.*) python (.*?) .* ', myString, re.M|re.I)
if searchObject:
    print("Item found! ")
else:
    print("No Item are found!")

Output:

Item found!
