Python: extracting a sentence with a particular word

Question

I have a json file containing texts like:

dr. goldberg offers everything.parking is good.he\'s nice and easy to talk

How can I

Answer 1

You can use the standard library re module:

import re
line = "dr. goldberg offers everything.parking is good.he's nice and easy to talk"
res = re.search("\.?([^\.]*parking[^\.]*)", line)
if res is not None:
    print res.group(1)

It will print parking is good.

Idea is simple - you search for sentence starting from optional dot character ., than consume all non-dots, parking word and the rest of non-dots.

Question mark handles the case where your sentence is in the start of the line.
