Installation

.. code-block:: pycon
pip install parse
Usage
-----
Parse strings using a specification based on the Python `format()`_ syntax.
``parse()`` is the opposite of ``format()``
The module is set up to only export ``parse()``, ``search()``, ``findall()``,
and ``with_pattern()`` when ``import *`` is used:
>>> from parse import *
From there it's a simple thing to parse a string:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse("It's {}, I love it!", "It's spam, I love it!")
<Result ('spam',) {}>
>>> _[0]
'spam'
Or to search a string for some pattern:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> search('Age: {:d}\n', 'Name: Rufus\nAge: 42\nColor: red\n')
<Result (42,) {}>
Or find all the occurrences of some pattern in a string:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> ''.join(r[0] for r in findall(">{}<", "<p>the <b>bold</b> text</p>"))
'the bold text'
If you're going to use the same pattern to match lots of strings you can
compile it once:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> from parse import compile
>>> p = compile("It's {}, I love it!")
>>> print(p)
<Parser "It's {}, I love it!">
>>> p.parse("It's spam, I love it!")
<Result ('spam',) {}>
("compile" is not exported for ``import *`` usage as it would override the
built-in ``compile()`` function)
The default behaviour is to match strings case insensitively. You may match with
case by specifying `case_sensitive=True`:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse('SPAM', 'spam', case_sensitive=True) is None
True
.. _format():
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.format
Format Syntax
-------------
A basic version of the `Format String Syntax`_ is supported with anonymous
(fixed-position), named and formatted fields::
{[field name]:[format spec]}
Field names must be a valid Python identifiers, including dotted names;
element indexes imply dictionaries (see below for example).
Numbered fields are also not supported: the result of parsing will include
the parsed fields in the order they are parsed.
The conversion of fields to types other than strings is done based on the
type in the format specification, which mirrors the ``format()`` behaviour.
There are no "!" field conversions like ``format()`` has.
Some simple parse() format string examples:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse("Bring me a {}", "Bring me a shrubbery")
<Result ('shrubbery',) {}>
>>> r = parse("The {} who {} {}", "The knights who say Ni!")
>>> print(r)
<Result ('knights', 'say', 'Ni!') {}>
>>> print(r.fixed)
('knights', 'say', 'Ni!')
>>> print(r[0])
knights
>>> print(r[1:])
('say', 'Ni!')
>>> r = parse("Bring out the holy {item}", "Bring out the holy hand grenade")
>>> print(r)
<Result () {'item': 'hand grenade'}>
>>> print(r.named)
{'item': 'hand grenade'}
>>> print(r['item'])
hand grenade
>>> 'item' in r
True
Note that `in` only works if you have named fields.
Dotted names and indexes are possible with some limits. Only word identifiers
are supported (ie. no numeric indexes) and the application must make additional
sense of the result:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> r = parse("Mmm, {food.type}, I love it!", "Mmm, spam, I love it!")
>>> print(r)
<Result () {'food.type': 'spam'}>
>>> print(r.named)
{'food.type': 'spam'}
>>> print(r['food.type'])
spam
>>> r = parse("My quest is {quest[name]}", "My quest is to seek the holy grail!")
>>> print(r)
<Result () {'quest': {'name': 'to seek the holy grail!'}}>
>>> print(r['quest'])
{'name': 'to seek the holy grail!'}
>>> print(r['quest']['name'])
to seek the holy grail!
If the text you're matching has braces in it you can match those by including
a double-brace ``{{`` or ``}}`` in your format string, just like format() does.
Format Specification
--------------------
Most often a straight format-less ``{}`` will suffice where a more complex
format specification might have been used.
Most of `format()`'s `Format Specification Mini-Language`_ is supported:
[[fill]align][sign][0][width][.precision][type]
The differences between `parse()` and `format()` are:
- The align operators will cause spaces (or specified fill character) to be
stripped from the parsed value. The width is not enforced; it just indicates
there may be whitespace or "0"s to strip.
- Numeric parsing will automatically handle a "0b", "0o" or "0x" prefix.
That is, the "#" format character is handled automatically by d, b, o
and x formats. For "d" any will be accepted, but for the others the correct
prefix must be present if at all.
- Numeric sign is handled automatically. A sign specifier can be given, but
has no effect.
- The thousands separator is handled automatically if the "n" type is used.
- The types supported are a slightly different mix to the format() types. Some
format() types come directly over: "d", "n", "%", "f", "e", "b", "o" and "x".
In addition some regular expression character group types "D", "w", "W", "s"
and "S" are also available.
- The "e" and "g" types are case-insensitive so there is not need for
the "E" or "G" types. The "e" type handles Fortran formatted numbers (no
leading 0 before the decimal point).

e.g. 1.1e-10, NAN (all case insensitive)
g General number format (either d, f or e) float

x Hexadecimal numbers (lower and upper case) int
ti ISO 8601 format date/time datetime
e.g. 1972-01-20T10:21:36Z ("T" and "Z"
optional)
te RFC2822 e-mail format date/time datetime
e.g. Mon, 20 Jan 1972 10:21:36 +1000
tg Global (day/month) format date/time datetime
e.g. 20/1/1972 10:21:36 AM +1:00
ta US (month/day) format date/time datetime
e.g. 1/20/1972 10:21:36 PM +10:30
tc ctime() format date/time datetime
e.g. Sun Sep 16 01:03:52 1973
th HTTP log format date/time datetime
e.g. 21/Nov/2011:00:07:11 +0000
ts Linux system log format date/time datetime
e.g. Nov 9 03:37:44
tt Time time
e.g. 10:21:36 PM -5:30
===== =========================================== ========
The type can also be a datetime format string, following the
`1989 C standard format codes`_, e.g. ``%Y-%m-%d``. Depending on the
directives contained in the format string, parsed output may be an instance
of ``datetime.datetime``, ``datetime.time``, or ``datetime.date``.
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse("{:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}", "2023-11-23 12:56:47")
<Result (datetime.datetime(2023, 11, 23, 12, 56, 47),) {}>
>>> parse("{:%H:%M}", "10:26")
<Result (datetime.time(10, 26),) {}>
>>> parse("{:%Y/%m/%d}", "2023/11/25")
<Result (datetime.date(2023, 11, 25),) {}>
Some examples of typed parsing with ``None`` returned if the typing
does not match:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse('Our {:d} {:w} are...', 'Our 3 weapons are...')
<Result (3, 'weapons') {}>
>>> parse('Our {:d} {:w} are...', 'Our three weapons are...')
>>> parse('Meet at {:tg}', 'Meet at 1/2/2011 11:00 PM')
<Result (datetime.datetime(2011, 2, 1, 23, 0),) {}>
And messing about with alignment:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse('with {:>} herring', 'with a herring')
<Result ('a',) {}>
>>> parse('spam {:^} spam', 'spam lovely spam')
<Result ('lovely',) {}>
Note that the "center" alignment does not test to make sure the value is
centered - it just strips leading and trailing whitespace.
Width and precision may be used to restrict the size of matched text
from the input. Width specifies a minimum size and precision specifies
a maximum. For example:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> parse('{:.2}{:.2}', 'look') # specifying precision
<Result ('lo', 'ok') {}>
>>> parse('{:4}{:4}', 'look at that') # specifying width
<Result ('look', 'at that') {}>
>>> parse('{:4}{:.4}', 'look at that') # specifying both
<Result ('look at ', 'that') {}>
>>> parse('{:2d}{:2d}', '0440') # parsing two contiguous numbers
<Result (4, 40) {}>
Some notes for the special date and time types:
- the presence of the time part is optional (including ISO 8601, starting
at the "T"). A full datetime object will always be returned; the time
will be set to 00:00:00. You may also specify a time without seconds.
- when a seconds amount is present in the input fractions will be parsed
to give microseconds.
- except in ISO 8601 the day and month digits may be 0-padded.
- the date separator for the tg and ta formats may be "-" or "/".
- named months (abbreviations or full names) may be used in the ta and tg
formats in place of numeric months.
- as per RFC 2822 the e-mail format may omit the day (and comma), and the
seconds but nothing else.
- hours greater than 12 will be happily accepted.
- the AM/PM are optional, and if PM is found then 12 hours will be added
to the datetime object's hours amount - even if the hour is greater
than 12 (for consistency.)
- in ISO 8601 the "Z" (UTC) timezone part may be a numeric offset
- timezones are specified as "+HH:MM" or "-HH:MM". The hour may be one or two
digits (0-padded is OK.) Also, the ":" is optional.
- the timezone is optional in all except the e-mail format (it defaults to
UTC.)
- named timezones are not handled yet.
Note: attempting to match too many datetime fields in a single parse() will
currently result in a resource allocation issue. A TooManyFields exception
will be raised in this instance. The current limit is about 15. It is hoped
that this limit will be removed one day.

Result and Match Objects
------------------------
The result of a ``parse()`` and ``search()`` operation is either ``None`` (no match), a
``Result`` instance or a ``Match`` instance if ``evaluate_result`` is False.
The ``Result`` instance has three attributes:
``fixed``
A tuple of the fixed-position, anonymous fields extracted from the input.
``named``
A dictionary of the named fields extracted from the input.
``spans``
A dictionary mapping the names and fixed position indices matched to a
2-tuple slice range of where the match occurred in the input.
The span does not include any stripped padding (alignment or width).
The ``Match`` instance has one method:
``evaluate_result()``
Generates and returns a ``Result`` instance for this ``Match`` object.
Custom Type Conversions
-----------------------
If you wish to have matched fields automatically converted to your own type you
may pass in a dictionary of type conversion information to ``parse()`` and
``compile()``.
The converter will be passed the field string matched. Whatever it returns
will be substituted in the ``Result`` instance for that field.
Your custom type conversions may override the builtin types if you supply one
with the same identifier:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> def shouty(string):
... return string.upper()
...
>>> parse('{:shouty} world', 'hello world', {"shouty": shouty})
<Result ('HELLO',) {}>
If the type converter has the optional ``pattern`` attribute, it is used as
regular expression for better pattern matching (instead of the default one):
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> def parse_number(text):
... return int(text)
>>> parse_number.pattern = r'\d+'
>>> parse('Answer: {number:Number}', 'Answer: 42', {"Number": parse_number})
<Result () {'number': 42}>
>>> _ = parse('Answer: {:Number}', 'Answer: Alice', {"Number": parse_number})
>>> assert _ is None, "MISMATCH"
You can also use the ``with_pattern(pattern)`` decorator to add this
information to a type converter function:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> from parse import with_pattern
>>> @with_pattern(r'\d+')
... def parse_number(text):
... return int(text)
>>> parse('Answer: {number:Number}', 'Answer: 42', {"Number": parse_number})
<Result () {'number': 42}>
A more complete example of a custom type might be:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> yesno_mapping = {
... "yes": True, "no": False,
... "on": True, "off": False,
... "true": True, "false": False,
... }
>>> @with_pattern(r"|".join(yesno_mapping))
... def parse_yesno(text):
... return yesno_mapping[text.lower()]
If the type converter ``pattern`` uses regex-grouping (with parenthesis),
you should indicate this by using the optional ``regex_group_count`` parameter
in the ``with_pattern()`` decorator:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> @with_pattern(r'((\d+))', regex_group_count=2)
... def parse_number2(text):
... return int(text)
>>> parse('Answer: {:Number2} {:Number2}', 'Answer: 42 43', {"Number2": parse_number2})
<Result (42, 43) {}>
Otherwise, this may cause parsing problems with unnamed/fixed parameters.
Potential Gotchas
-----------------
``parse()`` will always match the shortest text necessary (from left to right)
to fulfil the parse pattern, so for example:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> pattern = '{dir1}/{dir2}'
>>> data = 'root/parent/subdir'
>>> sorted(parse(pattern, data).named.items())
[('dir1', 'root'), ('dir2', 'parent/subdir')]
So, even though `{'dir1': 'root/parent', 'dir2': 'subdir'}` would also fit
the pattern, the actual match represents the shortest successful match for
``dir1``.

Some\n format() types come directly over: \"d\", \"n\", \"%\", \"f\", \"e\", \"b\", \"o\" and \"x\".\n In addition some regular expression character group types \"D\", \"w\", \"W\", \"s\"\n and \"S\" are also available.\n- The \"e\" and \"g\" types are case-insensitive so there is not need for\n the \"E\" or \"G\" types. The \"e\" type handles Fortran formatted numbers (no\n leading 0 before the decimal point).\n\n===== =========================================== ========\nType Characters Matched Output\n===== =========================================== ========\nl Letters (ASCII) str\nw Letters, numbers and underscore str\nW Not letters, numbers and underscore str\ns Whitespace str\nS Non-whitespace str\nd Digits (effectively integer numbers) int\nD Non-digit str\nn Numbers with thousands separators (, or .) int\n% Percentage (converted to value/100.0) float\nf Fixed-point numbers float\nF Decimal numbers Decimal\ne Floating-point numbers with exponent float\n e.g. 1.1e-10, NAN (all case insensitive)\ng General number format (either d, f or e) float\nb Binary numbers int\no Octal numbers int\nx Hexadecimal numbers (lower and upper case) int\nti ISO 8601 format date/time datetime\n e.g. 1972-01-20T10:21:36Z (\"T\" and \"Z\"\n optional)\nte RFC2822 e-mail format date/time datetime\n e.g. Mon, 20 Jan 1972 10:21:36 +1000\ntg Global (day/month) format date/time datetime\n e.g. 20/1/1972 10:21:36 AM +1:00\nta US (month/day) format date/time datetime\n e.g. 1/20/1972 10:21:36 PM +10:30\ntc ctime() format date/time datetime\n e.g. Sun Sep 16 01:03:52 1973\nth HTTP log format date/time datetime\n e.g. 21/Nov/2011:00:07:11 +0000\nts Linux system log format date/time datetime\n e.g. Nov 9 03:37:44\ntt Time time\n e.g. 10:21:36 PM -5:30\n===== =========================================== ========\n\nThe type can also be a datetime format string, following the\n`1989 C standard format codes`_, e.g. ``%Y-%m-%d``. Depending on the\ndirectives contained in the format string, parsed output may be an instance\nof ``datetime.datetime``, ``datetime.time``, or ``datetime.date``.\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> parse(\"{:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}\", \"2023-11-23 12:56:47\")\n <Result (datetime.datetime(2023, 11, 23, 12, 56, 47),) {}>\n >>> parse(\"{:%H:%M}\", \"10:26\")\n <Result (datetime.time(10, 26),) {}>\n >>> parse(\"{:%Y/%m/%d}\", \"2023/11/25\")\n <Result (datetime.date(2023, 11, 25),) {}>\n\n\nSome examples of typed parsing with ``None`` returned if the typing\ndoes not match:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> parse('Our {:d} {:w} are...', 'Our 3 weapons are...')\n <Result (3, 'weapons') {}>\n >>> parse('Our {:d} {:w} are...', 'Our three weapons are...')\n >>> parse('Meet at {:tg}', 'Meet at 1/2/2011 11:00 PM')\n <Result (datetime.datetime(2011, 2, 1, 23, 0),) {}>\n\nAnd messing about with alignment:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> parse('with {:>} herring', 'with a herring')\n <Result ('a',) {}>\n >>> parse('spam {:^} spam', 'spam lovely spam')\n <Result ('lovely',) {}>\n\nNote that the \"center\" alignment does not test to make sure the value is\ncentered - it just strips leading and trailing whitespace.\n\nWidth and precision may be used to restrict the size of matched text\nfrom the input. Width specifies a minimum size and precision specifies\na maximum. For example:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> parse('{:.2}{:.2}', 'look') # specifying precision\n <Result ('lo', 'ok') {}>\n >>> parse('{:4}{:4}', 'look at that') # specifying width\n <Result ('look', 'at that') {}>\n >>> parse('{:4}{:.4}', 'look at that') # specifying both\n <Result ('look at ', 'that') {}>\n >>> parse('{:2d}{:2d}', '0440') # parsing two contiguous numbers\n <Result (4, 40) {}>\n\nSome notes for the special date and time types:\n\n- the presence of the time part is optional (including ISO 8601, starting\n at the \"T\"). A full datetime object will always be returned; the time\n will be set to 00:00:00. You may also specify a time without seconds.\n- when a seconds amount is present in the input fractions will be parsed\n to give microseconds.\n- except in ISO 8601 the day and month digits may be 0-padded.\n- the date separator for the tg and ta formats may be \"-\" or \"/\".\n- named months (abbreviations or full names) may be used in the ta and tg\n formats in place of numeric months.\n- as per RFC 2822 the e-mail format may omit the day (and comma), and the\n seconds but nothing else.\n- hours greater than 12 will be happily accepted.\n- the AM/PM are optional, and if PM is found then 12 hours will be added\n to the datetime object's hours amount - even if the hour is greater\n than 12 (for consistency.)\n- in ISO 8601 the \"Z\" (UTC) timezone part may be a numeric offset\n- timezones are specified as \"+HH:MM\" or \"-HH:MM\". The hour may be one or two\n digits (0-padded is OK.) Also, the \":\" is optional.\n- the timezone is optional in all except the e-mail format (it defaults to\n UTC.)\n- named timezones are not handled yet.\n\nNote: attempting to match too many datetime fields in a single parse() will\ncurrently result in a resource allocation issue. A TooManyFields exception\nwill be raised in this instance. The current limit is about 15. It is hoped\nthat this limit will be removed one day.\n\n.. _`Format String Syntax`:\n https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax\n.. _`Format Specification Mini-Language`:\n https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language\n.. _`1989 C standard format codes`:\n https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes\n\n\n\nResult and Match Objects\n------------------------\n\nThe result of a ``parse()`` and ``search()`` operation is either ``None`` (no match), a\n``Result`` instance or a ``Match`` instance if ``evaluate_result`` is False.\n\nThe ``Result`` instance has three attributes:\n\n``fixed``\n A tuple of the fixed-position, anonymous fields extracted from the input.\n``named``\n A dictionary of the named fields extracted from the input.\n``spans``\n A dictionary mapping the names and fixed position indices matched to a\n 2-tuple slice range of where the match occurred in the input.\n The span does not include any stripped padding (alignment or width).\n\nThe ``Match`` instance has one method:\n\n``evaluate_result()``\n Generates and returns a ``Result`` instance for this ``Match`` object.\n\n\n\nCustom Type Conversions\n-----------------------\n\nIf you wish to have matched fields automatically converted to your own type you\nmay pass in a dictionary of type conversion information to ``parse()`` and\n``compile()``.\n\nThe converter will be passed the field string matched. Whatever it returns\nwill be substituted in the ``Result`` instance for that field.\n\nYour custom type conversions may override the builtin types if you supply one\nwith the same identifier:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> def shouty(string):\n ... return string.upper()\n ...\n >>> parse('{:shouty} world', 'hello world', {\"shouty\": shouty})\n <Result ('HELLO',) {}>\n\nIf the type converter has the optional ``pattern`` attribute, it is used as\nregular expression for better pattern matching (instead of the default one):\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> def parse_number(text):\n ... return int(text)\n >>> parse_number.pattern = r'\\d+'\n >>> parse('Answer: {number:Number}', 'Answer: 42', {\"Number\": parse_number})\n <Result () {'number': 42}>\n >>> _ = parse('Answer: {:Number}', 'Answer: Alice', {\"Number\": parse_number})\n >>> assert _ is None, \"MISMATCH\"\n\nYou can also use the ``with_pattern(pattern)`` decorator to add this\ninformation to a type converter function:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> from parse import with_pattern\n >>> @with_pattern(r'\\d+')\n ... def parse_number(text):\n ... return int(text)\n >>> parse('Answer: {number:Number}', 'Answer: 42', {\"Number\": parse_number})\n <Result () {'number': 42}>\n\nA more complete example of a custom type might be:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> yesno_mapping = {\n ... \"yes\": True, \"no\": False,\n ... \"on\": True, \"off\": False,\n ... \"true\": True, \"false\": False,\n ... }\n >>> @with_pattern(r\"|\".join(yesno_mapping))\n ... def parse_yesno(text):\n ... return yesno_mapping[text.lower()]\n\n\nIf the type converter ``pattern`` uses regex-grouping (with parenthesis),\nyou should indicate this by using the optional ``regex_group_count`` parameter\nin the ``with_pattern()`` decorator:\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> @with_pattern(r'((\\d+))', regex_group_count=2)\n ... def parse_number2(text):\n ... return int(text)\n >>> parse('Answer: {:Number2} {:Number2}', 'Answer: 42 43', {\"Number2\": parse_number2})\n <Result (42, 43) {}>\n\nOtherwise, this may cause parsing problems with unnamed/fixed parameters.\n\n\nPotential Gotchas\n-----------------\n\n``parse()`` will always match the shortest text necessary (from left to right)\nto fulfil the parse pattern, so for example:\n\n\n.. code-block:: pycon\n\n >>> pattern = '{dir1}/{dir2}'\n >>> data = 'root/parent/subdir'\n >>> sorted(parse(pattern, data).named.items())\n [('dir1', 'root'), ('dir2', 'parent/subdir')]\n\nSo, even though `{'dir1': 'root/parent', 'dir2': 'subdir'}` would also fit\nthe pattern, the actual match represents the shortest successful match for\n``dir1``.\n\nDevelopers\n----------\n\nWant to contribute to parse?
