检查字符串是否以XXXX开头

我想知道如何在Python中检查字符串是否以“hello”开头。

在Bash中,我通常这样做:

if [[ "$string" =~ ^hello ]]; then
do something here
fi

如何在Python中实现同样的功能?

aString = "hello world"
aString.startswith("hello")

关于startswith的更多信息。

RanRag已经回答了它为你的具体问题。

然而,更一般地说,你在做什么

if [[ "$string" =~ ^hello ]]

正则表达式匹配。要在Python中执行相同的操作,您将执行:

import re
if re.match(r'^hello', somestring):
# do stuff

显然,在这种情况下,somestring.startswith('hello')更好。

也可以这样做..

regex=re.compile('^hello')


## THIS WAY YOU CAN CHECK FOR MULTIPLE STRINGS
## LIKE
## regex=re.compile('^hello|^john|^world')


if re.match(regex, somestring):
print("Yes")

如果你想将多个单词与你的魔法单词匹配,你可以将要匹配的单词作为元组传递:

>>> magicWord = 'zzzTest'
>>> magicWord.startswith(('zzz', 'yyy', 'rrr'))
True

startswith接受字符串或字符串元组。

我做了一个小实验,看看是哪种方法

  • string.startswith('hello')
  • string.rfind('hello') == 0
  • string.rpartition('hello')[0] == ''
  • string.rindex('hello') == 0

最有效的方法是返回某个字符串是否以另一个字符串开头。

下面是我所做的许多测试运行之一的结果,其中每个列表的顺序是显示在我使用的while循环的每次迭代中,(以秒为单位)解析500万个以上每个表达式所花费的最少时间:

我相信从一开始就很明显startswith方法是最有效的,因为返回字符串是否以指定的字符串开头是它的主要目的。

令我惊讶的是,看似不切实际的string.rpartition('hello')[0] == ''方法总是能找到一种方法,在string.startswith('hello')方法之前被列在前面,时不时地。结果表明,使用str.partition来确定一个字符串是否以另一个字符串开头,比同时使用rfindrindex更有效。

我注意到的另一件事是string.rfind('hello') == 0string.rindex('hello') == 0正在进行一场很好的战斗,每个都从第四名上升到第三名,从第三名下降到第四名,这是有道理的,因为它们的主要目的是相同的。

代码如下:

from time import perf_counter


string = 'hello world'
places = dict()


while True:
start = perf_counter()
for _ in range(5000000):
string.startswith('hello')
end = perf_counter()
places['startswith'] = round(end - start, 2)


start = perf_counter()
for _ in range(5000000):
string.rfind('hello') == 0
end = perf_counter()
places['rfind'] = round(end - start, 2)


start = perf_counter()
for _ in range(5000000):
string.rpartition('hello')[0] == ''
end = perf_counter()
places['rpartition'] = round(end - start, 2)


start = perf_counter()
for _ in range(5000000):
string.rindex('hello') == 0
end = perf_counter()
places['rindex'] = round(end - start, 2)
    

print([f'{b}: {str(a).ljust(4, "4")}' for a, b in sorted(i[::-1] for i in places.items())])
