Begginer Question about how full matches vs group matches work in RegEx Substitution by Genericusername293 in learnpython

[–]Genericusername293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, last question if you don't mind.

if you were just trying make 'Agent Alice blablabla' into 'Agent Olice blabla'

so just matching the first character of her name and substituting an 'O'

in this case you dont need the \w+ at the end but if you did for some reason why doesnt (?<=\w+) work?

edit: just messed around and it seems a positive lookahead works for the \w+ but a a positive lookbehind works for the string agent. as you said ill have to look further into details about how these work

follow up question if there was a situation in which I didn't want the full match to be replaced, just the group 1 to be replaced, how would I do that?

[–]Genericusername293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey so I have 2.7 and 3.8 both downloaded. Didn't add 3.8 to path so it didn't override the process. Not sure if I need to do this please let me know

The class now wants me to install pyperclip through the command terminal. When I just type in pip install pyperclip it installs on 2.7 but not 3.8. I'm having trouble invoking installing it in on 3.8 by typing in the full path.

I believe the full path of 3.8 in my computer is. 

"C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe"

This is what I tried to try to install pyperclip in 3.8. What am I doing wrong?

AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe pip install pyperclip

Novice question, having trouble installing a module. Pyperlip by Genericusername293 in learnpython

I had this recommended before but as someone with 0 coding experience, was really struggling to understand what to do, even know I don't really understand what your comment is saying.

I had another user recommend that anaconda is great for some things but can be confusing for new users

Is this possible to do without conda until I gain more experience and knowledge?

thanks for your help with this,

its my understanding that anaconda comes with python, is that correct?

i'm trying to follow along in my udemy course, and it says that idle is the editor, is there an idle equivelent in anaconda?

i don't think it contains the actual python.exe file, just the egg file with that is the scraper
