10.4. Regex Syntax Negation¶
Negation logically inverts qualifier
[^...]- anything but ...
10.4.1. SetUp¶
>>> import re
10.4.2. Syntax¶
[^...]- anything but ...
10.4.3. Example¶
[^abc]- anything but letter a or b or c
>>> TEXT = 'Email from Mark Watney <mwatney@nasa.gov> received on: Sat, Jan 1st, 2000 at 12:00 AM'
>>> re.findall(r'[0-9]', TEXT)
['1', '2', '0', '0', '0', '1', '2', '0', '0']
>>> re.findall(r'[^0-9]', TEXT)
['E', 'm', 'a', 'i', 'l', ' ', 'f', 'r', 'o', 'm', ' ', 'M', 'a', 'r', 'k',
' ', 'W', 'a', 't', 'n', 'e', 'y', ' ', '<', 'm', 'w', 'a', 't', 'n', 'e',

'J', 'a', 'n', ' ', 's', 't', ',', ' ', ' ', 'a', 't', ' ', ':', ' ', 'A',
'M']
10.4.4. Compare¶
>>> TEXT = 'Email from Mark Watney <mwatney@nasa.gov> received on: Sat, Jan 1st, 2000 at 12:00 AM'
>>> re.findall(r'[0-9]', TEXT)
['1', '2', '0', '0', '0', '1', '2', '0', '0']
>>> re.findall(r'^[0-9]', TEXT)
[]
>>> re.findall(r'[^0-9]', TEXT)

English:
1. Define `result: str` with regular expression to find:
a. non-digits
b. non-lowercase-letters
c. non-uppercase-letters
2. Run doctests - all must succeed
Polish:
1. Zdefiniuj `result: str` z wyrażeniem regularnym aby wyszukać:
a. nie-cyfry
b. nie-małe-litery
c. nie-duże-litery
2. Uruchom doctesty - wszystkie muszą się powieść
