Using more than one flag in python re.findall

Question

I would like to use more than one flag with the re.findall function. More specifically, I would like to use the IGNORECASE and DOTALL

Answer 1

Yes, but you have to OR them together:

x = re.findall(pattern=r'CAT.+?END', string='Cat \n eND', flags=re.I | re.DOTALL)

Answer 2

Is there a way to use more than one flag ?

It wasn't mentioned, but you can use inline (?...) modifiers as well.

x = re.findall(r'(?si)CAT.+?END', 'Cat \n eND')

Answer 3

You can't put the flags within a tuple. Use the pipe character (OR operand) within your flags:

x = re.findall(r'CAT.+?END','Cat \n eND',flags=re.I | re.DOTALL)
