How can I check if a string has several specific characters in it using Python 2?
For example, given the following string:
The criminals stole $1,000,000 in jewels.
How do I detect if it has dollar signs ($), commas (,), and numbers?
Assuming your string is s:
'$' in s # found
'$' not in s # not found
# original answer given, but less Pythonic than the above...
s.find('$')==-1 # not found
s.find('$')!=-1 # found
And so on for other characters.
... or
pattern = re.compile(r'[\d\$,]')
if pattern.findall(s):
print('Found')
else:
print('Not found')
... or
chars = set('0123456789$,')
if any((c in chars) for c in s):
print('Found')
else:
print('Not Found')
