Today, we're going to learn how to search and replace within Python strings. These are crucial operations for manipulating text data. This tutorial provides a hands-on approach to implementing these Python features.
Have you ever wondered how to find 'X' on a treasure map, switch code words, or make a search feature to locate a file? By learning how to search and replace text in Python, you can solve these puzzles!
The .find()
, .index()
, and .count()
methods in Python make text searching a breeze.
This method finds the first occurrence of a substring and returns the index. If the substring is not found, it returns -1.
Similarly, rfind()
method returns the index of the last occurrence of the provided substring.
This works like find()
. However, it throws an error if the substring is not found.
Similarly, rindex()
method returns the index of the occurrence of the provided substring.
