在字符串列表中搜索模式 - Python

我有一个包含文件名的字符串列表,例如

file_names = ['filei.txt','filej.txt','filek.txt','file2i.txt','file2j.txt','file2k.txt','file3i.txt','file3j.txt','file3k.txt']

然后我使用以下内容删除.txt扩展程序:

extension = os.path.commonprefix([n[::-1] for n in file_names])[::-1]

file_names_strip = [n[:-len(extension)] for n in file_names]

然后返回列表file_names_strip中每个字符串的最后一个字符:

h = [n[-1:] for n in file_names_strip]

给出了h = ['i', 'j', 'k', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'i', 'j', 'k']

如何在h中测试字符串模式?因此,如果ijk按顺序发生,则会返回True,否则返回False。我需要知道这一点,因为并非所有文件名的格式都与file_names中的文件名一样。

所以:

test_ijk_pattern(h) = True

no_pattern = ['1','2','3','1','2','3','1','2','3']

test_ijk_pattern(no_pattern) = False

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

以下是我对此的攻击方式:

def patternFinder(h):    #Takes a list and returns a list of the pattern if found, otherwise returns an empty list

    if h[0] in h[1:]:
        rptIndex = h[1:].index(h[0]) + 1 #Gets the index of the second instance of the first element in the list
    else:
        print "This list has no pattern"
        return []

    if len(h) % rptIndex != 0:
        h = h[:-(len(h) % rptIndex)]   #Takes off extra entries at the end which would break the next step

    subLists = [h[i:i+rptIndex] for i in range(0,len(h),rptIndex)]   #Divide h into sublists which should all have the same pattern

    hasPattern = True   #Assume the list has a pattern
    numReps = 0  #Number of times the pattern appears

    for subList in subLists:
        if subList != subLists[0]: 
            hasPattern = False
        else:
            numReps += 1

    if hasPattern and numReps != 1:
        pattern = subList[0]
        return pattern
    else:
        print "This list has no pattern"
        return []

这样的假设:

  • 模式以前几个字符显示
  • 最后的不完整模式并不重要([1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2]会产生2个[1,2,3]个实例
  • h至少有2个条目
  • 模式之间没有多余的字符

如果你对这些假设很好,那么这对你有用,希望这有帮助!

你可以使用正则表达式。

import re
def test_pattern(pattern, mylist):
  print pattern
  print mylist
  print "".join(mylist)
  if re.match(r'(%s)+$' % pattern, "".join(mylist)) != None: # if the pattern matchtes at least one time, nothing else is allowed
    return True
  return False       

print test_pattern("ijk", ["i", "j", "k", "i", "j", "k"])

你可以这样做而不剥离最后的字母和文件结尾。我更新了正则表达式,以便它可以工作。一个问题是我使用变量名称,它寻找模式“mypattern”。使用%s将其替换为真实模式。我希望这个解决方案适合你。

myfiles = ["ai.txt", "aj.txt", "ak.txt", "bi.txt", "bj.txt", "bk.txt"]
mypattern = ["i", "j", "k"]

import re
# pattern as a list e.g. ["i", "j", "k"]
def test_pattern(pattern, filenames):
    mypattern = "["+"\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*".join(pattern) + "\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*]*"
    # this pattern matches any character, an "i", followed by a dot, any characters, followed by j., any characters, followd by k. (change it a bit if your file names contain numbers and/or uppercase)
    print mypattern
    print "".join(filenames)
    if re.search(r'%s' % mypattern, "".join(filenames)) != None: # if the pattern matchtes at least one time, nothing else is allowed
        return True
    return False



print test_pattern(mypattern, myfiles)

输出:

[i\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*j\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*k\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*]*
ai.txtaj.txtak.txtbi.txtbj.txtbk.txt
True
