Find one word for a sentence - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

So, I am trying to find a word (a complete word) in a sentence. Lets say the sentence is

Str1 = "1. how are you doing"

and that I am interested in finding if

Str2 = "1."

is in it. If I do,

re.search(r"%sb" % Str2, Str1, re.IGNORECASE)

it should say that a match was found, isn’t it? but the re.search fails for this query. why?

There are two things wrong here:

b matches a position between a word and a non-word character, so between any letter, digit or underscore, and a character that doesn’t match that set.

You are trying to match the boundary between a . and a space; both are non-word characters and the b anchor would never match there.
You are handing re a 1., which means ‘match a 1 and any other character’. You’d need to escape the dot by using re.escape() to match a literal ..

The following works better:

re.search(r"%s(?:s|$)" % re.escape(Str2), Str1, re.IGNORECASE)

Now it’ll match your input literally, and look for a following space or the end of the string. The (?:...) creates a non-capturing group (always a good idea unless you specifically need to capture sections of the match); inside the group there is a | pipe to give two alternatives; either match s (whitespace) or match $ (end of a line). You can expand this as needed.

Demo:

>>> import re
>>> Str1 = "1. how are you doing"
>>> Str2 = "1."
>>> re.search(r"%s(?:s|$)" % re.escape(Str2), Str1, re.IGNORECASE)
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10457eed0>
>>> _.group(0)
'1. '

Hello friends,

I need your help with the following problem.
There are three sentences, with a gap in each of them.
I need to find the one single word (and only one) which can fill all the three gaps and fit properly.

1. I’m sure Maria will ………. for the beach as soon as she’ll be unpacked.

2. How do you think Frizt will …….. each month, with his new job ?

3. He’s achieving great results, I’m sure the management will ……. him sales manager next year.

I couldn’t find anything better than «head», but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong.
A guy who was at the exam with me tried «drive», which is also wrong.
Any suggestions ?

Ciao
Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Is there a word missing from the second sentence?

Hello friends,

1. I’m sure Maria will ………. for the beach as soon as she’ll be unpacked.

Can future tense be after as soon as?
If my memories serve me right, my teacher said never.

You’re right, Erik. It should read:

1. I’m sure Maria will …….. for the beach as soon as she’s [she has] unpacked.

Neever

Hi Claudio,

I can’t find a word that does all three, but I have to say, sentences 1 and 2 sound wrong regardless. «as soon as she’ll be unpacked» is ungrammatical, like you said, and «each month, with his new job ?» seems to have a misplaced comma, and at first glance «with» is incorrect too. «In» would work better, as long as the missing word doesn’t change the structure. Mind you, my observation still doesn’t help much! Sorry!

I think the missing word for all three is «make»:

…she’ll make for the beach

How much will Fritz make each month

…management will make him sales manager…

Hello Claudio,

The obvious answer, to me, is «make». But, as La Grive says, there seems to be something missing in the second sentence. That would need the addition of «out» — «How do you think Fritz will make out each month . . . ?»

Regards,
LRV

Omitted words and other errors MAKE this difficult to correct!

Thank you for your kind and prompt replies.

At the exam I couldn’t take note of the sentences, therefore I obviously stuffed them with errors when I tried (with the only help of my memory) to type them in the first post of this thread.

Anyway you all agree that the word is «make».
I have another question : is «make for the beach» a bit colloquial ? I ask because I have never seen such a form. Is it BE ? Or AE ?

Ciao and thank you again
Claudio

In BE I say «head for the beach».

Regards,
LRV

I agree with Joelline. Even without the mistakes, it is very difficult. I´d guess that «make for» is both BE and AE, though I´ll let the Americams speak for themselves. It´s certainly BE, though a bit unusual, perhaps more written than spoken?

In AE I have heard and understand «make for the beach,» although its not the primary way of saying it. We usually say «head to the beach» or «go to the beach.» I am sure there are other but thats all I can think of at the moment.

Let me offer sincere sympathy and suggest that you reserve the right to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is cruel and unusual punishment, not a legitimate examination in the use of English.

I’ll accept that it is possible to use make in each of these sentences. But I stress possible and assert that it is unnatural.

These are questions that come out in FCE, CAE and CPE.

Here are my attempts:

1. head

2. fare

3. name

Ooops, Cracker Jack,

Go back and read the nasty directions again. That was our problem: you had to use the 1 word (the same word) in all 3 sentences!

It is for this reason that the Europeans here will be appealing to the European Court of Human Rights, and the Americans will be appealing to the Supreme Court! This was, indeed, cruel and unusual punishment!

Best,
Joelline

If the second sentence is «How much do you think he will make each month, with his new job?», is «make» the correct word then?

Hi coconut palm,

Yes, and that’s what I changed it to in post #8.

Joelline

Oh, I’m sorry that I didn’t notice the quote!
I promise I will pay more attention next time!
Thank you, Joelline, for confirming my assumption!

Oh gee!!! Thanks for reminding me Joelline. That was very careless of me. Well, you have all the right to deplore those bastard-examiners. Not just cruel and usual. It is stupid. Go ahead.

«Make for» meaning to go to, or head in the direction of, is not
used with any frequency in AE. It’s found quite a bit in 19th and early 20th century writing, but has fallen out of favor in recent decades.

Except for occasional appearances, one of them being the written part of the CPE exam I tried last week…
I agree with Cracker Jack’s opinion, although my view is not so mild.

My understanding is that Cambridge questions are tested and a sufficient number of ‘guinea pigs’ must have answered the question for it to have been shown to help in grading candidates’ English ability.

I don’t feel «make for the beach» is so unusual.

It’s not unusual if you’re reciting dialogue in a WW II movie about the beaches at Normandy! Otherwise, when is the last time you said it or heard someone say it?
