How to replace Text with a Regex Regular Expression String in Python

If you would rather be doing anything other than coding with regular expressions, then this is the article for you. I am about to show you how to accomplish the title task with just a little sprinkle of copy and paste. This is how it goes.

Pip install this client library:

pip install cloudmersive-convert-api-client

Following that, call this function called edit_text_replace_regex.

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_convert_api_client
from cloudmersive_convert_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
# configuration.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'
# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.EditTextApi(cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
request = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ReplaceStringRegexRequest() # ReplaceStringRegexRequest | Input request
try:
# Replace a string in text with a regex regular expression string
api_response = api_instance.edit_text_replace_regex(request)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling EditTextApi->edit_text_replace_regex: %s\n" % e)

And the rest is only a matter of inputting your data as a request object. Now go and enjoy the rest of your day knowing that you didn’t have to lift a finger to implement this feature.
