I am working on creating a custom workflow using zapier. It requires to parse a given text using zapier formatter which uses Python Regex.
The python regex I am using is
(?P<action>My-DATA)\s+:desc:(?P<desc>.*):\s+:priority:(?P<priority>.*):\s+:label:(?P<lbl>.*):
Against an incoming text
My-DATA :desc:I would like to get details from https://mydata.org/this-is-my-data: :priority:3: :label:data:
There are couple of things which I am unable to figure out how I can achieve. Each section is delimited using :
and section's name is also wrapped in :
Sometimes what happens is that the text will come in without the ending :
for the section like this
My-DATA :desc:I would like to get details from https://mydata.org/this-is-my-data :priority:3 :label:data
This text is missing :
at the end of each section, but each new section always starts with :
followed by the name of the section.
I am trying to figure out a regex which can still work as this one with or without the section ending :
Working regex example is at https://regex101.com/r/T2UJcP/2
Any help will be appreciated.
(?P<action>My-DATA)\s+:desc:(?P<desc>.*?):?\s+:priority:(?P<priority>.*?):?\s+:lbl:(?P<lbl>.*?):?\s*$
