Search in a string and obtain the 2 words before and after the match in Python

Question

I\'m using Python to search some words (also multi-token) in a description (string).

To do that I\'m using a regex like this

    result = re.search(w         


        

Answer 1

How about string operations?

line = 'Parking here is horrible, this shop sucks.'

before, term, after = line.partition('here is')
before = before.rsplit(maxsplit=2)[-2:]
after = after.split(maxsplit=2)[:2]

Result:

>>> before
['Parking']
>>> after
['horrible,', 'this']
