Title
Body
I am parsing file and I want to check each line against a few complicated regexs. Something like this if re.match(regex1, line): do stuff elif re.match(regex2, line): do other stuff elif re.match(regex3, line): do still more stuff ... Of course, to do the stuff, I need the match objects. I can only think of three possibilities, each of which leaves something to be desired. if re.match(regex1, line): m = re.match(regex1, line) do stuff elif re.match(regex2, line): m = re.match(regex2, line) do other stuff ... which requires doing the complicated matching twice (these are long files and long regex :/) m = re.match(regex1, line) if m: do stuff else: m = re.match(regex2, line) if m: do other stuff else: ... which gets terrible as I indent further and further. while True: m = re.match(regex1, line) if m: do stuff break m = re.match(regex2, line) if m: do other stuff break ... which just looks weird. What's the right way to do this?
