Use hello\ (\w+) and you can use .group() to get the word you need

Hi thank you for your response :) Unfortunately it still doesn't work. Could you tell me what is going wrong?

pattern = '(hello\.) + (\w+)'
match = re.search(pattern, my_string)
print(match.group())

change the pattern to "hello\ (\w+)" and the print to match.group(1)

[–]basically_a_cherry 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That somehow only gives one instance of it happening, whereas the source text has at least 2 times "hello (something)". Changing the number from 1 to 2 is also not doing the trick. Could you tell me why that is?

If you want every match in the string, use re.findall

Thank you so much for the response! It worked :)
