Finding words after keyword in python

Question

I want to find words that appear after a keyword (specified and searched by me) and print out the result. I know that i am suppose to use regex to do it, and i tried it out

Answer 1

Instead of "^name: (\w+)" use:

"^name:(.*)"

Answer 2

You could simply do

s = "hi my name is ryan, and i am new to python and would like to learn more"
s.split('name')

This will split your string and return a list like this ['hi my', 'is ryan, and i am new to python and would like to learn more']

depending on what you want to do this may help or not.

Answer 3

An other alternative...

   import re
   m = re.search('(?<=name)(.*)', s)
   print m.groups()
