Python regular expressions OR

Question

Suppose I want a regular expression that matches both \"Sent from my iPhone\" and \"Sent from my iPod\". How do I write such an expression?

I tried things like:

Answer 1

re.compile("Sent from my (?:iPhone|iPod)")

If you need to capture matches, remove the ?:.

Fyi, your regex didn't work because you are testing for one character out of i,P,h,o,n,e or one character out of i,P,o,d..

Answer 2

re.compile("Sent from my (iPhone|iPod)")
