RegEx usage

[Firecul]

Does anyone here use regex to scan for comments?
I just tried it today and it's returning results for things it shouldn't as far as I know, basically all the comments. What am I missing?

I was using a video from a recent issue form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oVhr-Hd4MI and trying to scan for any .uno websites. I have tried ["\w+\.uno"gi] and ["[a-zA-Z]+\.uno"ig] (with and without the outside [] to little success. It's returning results that don't have a match in addition to the ones that do

According to Regex101.com it should work

If you want to match a given string with re.compile(...).match(...), the whole string has to match the regex - just modify it a bit and it should work. Just like here:
.*?(?P<link>\w+\.uno).* or .*?\w+\.uno.*

⏫Please choose wether you need the link or not, i wasn't sure about it

I hope this helps in any kind, i didn't completly understand the question / problem but i thought i might want to help.

I'll give it a try shortly and see if that works better

Forgot all about this, unfortunately, your expression didn't return any results. At least it's more discriminating than mine and it does return the whole comment on regex101.

Are you including those actual quotation marks in the expression? I don't think they should be there. Also the ig are flags that I think are separate. Hard to explain but basically the way python takes in the expression you don't put those flags.

I believe you'd want to literally just put the expression as
\w+\.uno

I tried it with brackets around it and it just flagged literally everything, so maybe that's a problem and I shouldn't have the example have brackets around it

I have tried with and without quotation marks and with and without brackets, with no success.
I was hoping someone would have an expression they know works so I could adapt it.
Even something as broad as \S+\.uno returns nothing.
