25 爬虫 - re 正则 finditer 方法

finditer 方法的行为跟 findall 的行为类似，也是搜索整个字符串，获得所有匹配的结果。但它返回一个顺序访问每一个匹配结果（Match 对象）的迭代器。

看看例子：

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import re
pattern = re.compile(r'\d+')

result_iter1 = pattern.finditer('hello 123456 789')
result_iter2 = pattern.finditer('one1two2three3four4', 0, 10)

print type(result_iter1)
print type(result_iter2)

print 'result1...'
for m1 in result_iter1:   # m1 是 Match 对象
    print 'matching string: {}, position: {}'.format(m1.group(), m1.span())

print 'result2...'
for m2 in result_iter2:
    print 'matching string: {}, position: {}'.format(m2.group(), m2.span())

执行结果：

<type 'callable-iterator'>
<type 'callable-iterator'>
result1...
matching string: 123456, position: (6, 12)
matching string: 789, position: (13, 16)
result2...
matching string: 1, position: (3, 4)
matching string: 2, position: (7, 8)
