There's a string like that:
mystr = 'account_id 37318 not found'
I'm wondering how to write an condition better than:
if 'account_id' not in str and 'not found' not in str:
doSomething()
I guess there must be something like:
if 'account_id' + %any substring% + 'not found' not in str:
doSomething()
Probably a regular expression might help, but I'm not good with using it.
Thank you in advance.
You may use all and don't use builtin keywords as variable names.
if all(i not in s for i in ('not found', 'account_id')):
Example:
>>> tr = 'account_id 37318 not found'
>>> tr1 = '2735723'
>>> all(i not in tr for i in ('not found', 'account_id'))
False
>>> all(i not in tr1 for i in ('not found', 'account_id'))
True
>>>
This may help.
import re
string = 'account_id 37318 not found'
match = re.search(r'\baccount_id\b.*?\bnot found\b',string)
if match:
print 'Do something'
else:
print 'Do nothing'
Let me know if it helps :).
\baccount_id\b.*?\bnot found\b (not need to describe the start and the end of the string and starting a pattern with a literal string is always more efficient).
stris a very bad variable name.
