In this article, we will learn to extract strings in between the quotations using Python.
Method 1:
To extract strings in between the quotations we can use findall() method from re library.
Python3
import reinputstring = ' some strings are present in between "Lazyroar" "for" "Lazyroar" 'print(re.findall('"([^"]*)"', inputstring)) |
Output:
['Lazyroar', 'for', 'Lazyroar']
Method 2:
We can extract strings in between the quotations using split() method and slicing.
Python3
inputstring = 'some strings are present in between "Lazyroar" "for" "Lazyroar" ' """here split() method will split the string for every quotation ( " ) .i.e.['some strings are present in between ', 'Lazyroar', ' ', 'for', ' ', 'Lazyroar', ' '].Then we will be storing all the strings at odd index."""result = inputstring.split('"')[1::2]print(result); |
Output:
['Lazyroar', 'for', 'Lazyroar']
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Here you can learn more about Regular Expressions and list slicing in python.
Method 3: Using startswith(),endswith() and replace() methods
Python3
inputstring = 'some strings are present in between "Lazyroar" "for" "Lazyroar" 'result = inputstring.split()res=[]for i in result: if(i.startswith('"') and i.endswith('"')): i=i.replace('"',"") res.append(i)print(res) |
Output
['Lazyroar', 'for', 'Lazyroar']
