Python: Elegant way to check if at least one regex in list matches a string
- by houbysoft
Hi. I have a list of regexes in python, and a string. Is there an elegant way to check if the at least one regex in the list matches the string? By elegant, I mean something better than simply looping through all of the regexes and checking them against the string and stopping if a match is found.
Basically, I had this code:
list = ['something','another','thing','hello']
string = 'hi'
if string in list:
pass # do something
else:
pass # do something else
Now I would like to have some regular expressions in the list, rather than just strings, and I am wondering if there is an elegant solution to check for a match to replace if string in list:.
Thanks in advance.
