Regex string doesn't match

Question

I\'m having trouble matching a digit in a string with Python. While it should be clearly matched, It doesn\'t even match [0-9] [\\d] or just

Answer 1

Use re.search instead of re.match.

Answer 2

Read the documentation: http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.match

If zero or more characters at the beginning of string

You want to use re.search (or re.findall)

Answer 3

re.match is "anchored" to the beginning of the string. Use re.search.
