Pyhton Regularity Error: sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat at position

 

The wrong regular expression was written

1. Number of back bands

It’s embarrassing to write “d” as “B”

>>> pattern = re.compile(r'123\b*hello')

Output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat at position 2

Error reason: because the word boundary is the word boundary, the meaning of * is the occurrence of any times, that is to say, the word can only have one boundary, and can not occur any times, so this error will be reported
