regex for finding file paths

Question

I used this regex(\\/.*\\.[\\w:]+) to find all file paths and directories. But in a line like this \"file path /log/file.txt some lines /log/var/file2.txt

Answer 1

You can use python re

something like this:

import re
msg="file path /log/file.txt some lines /log/var/file2.txt"
matches = re.findall("(/[a-zA-Z\./]*[\s]?)", msg)
print(matches)
