How to make it shorter (Pythonic)?

Question

I have to check a lot of worlds if they are in string... code looks like:

if \"string_1\" in var_string or \"string_2\" in var_string or \"string_3\" in var_stri         


        

Answer 1

With regex that would be:

import re
words = ['string_1', 'string_2', ...]

if re.search('|'.join([re.escape(w) for w in words]), var_string):
    blahblah
