如何编写正则表达式来提取年份

How to write regular expression to extract years

如何写正则表达式提取文本中的年份,年份可能有以下几种形式

Case 1:
1970 - 1980 --> 1970, 1980
January 1920 - Feb 1930 --> 1920, 1930
May 1920 to September 1930 --> 1920, 1930
Case 2:
July 1945 --> 1945

Case 1 编写正则表达式很容易,但我该如何处理 Case 2

\d{4} \s? (?: [^a-zA-Z0-9] | to) \s? \w+? \d{4}

正则表达式.*?([0-9]{4})(?:.*?([0-9]{4}))?.*?(\d{4})(?:.*?(\d{4}))?

详情:

  • () 捕获组
  • (?:) 非捕获组
  • {n} 完全匹配 n
  • .*? 匹配零次到无限次之间的任何字符(惰性)

Python代码:

def Years(text):
        return re.findall(r'.*?([0-9]{4})(?:.*?([0-9]{4}))?', text)

print(Years('January 1920 - Feb 1930'))

输出:

[('1920', '1930')]

根据您的要求,只需匹配所有 4 位数字

import re
s = '''1970 - 1980
January 1920 - Feb 1930
May 1920 to September 1930
July 1945'''

p = re.compile(r'\b\d{4}\b')

s = s.splitlines()
for x in s:
    result = p.findall(x) 
    print(result)

输出

['1970', '1980']
['1920', '1930']
['1920', '1930']
['1945']
