Python regex tokenizer with conditions

Title: Python Regex Tokenizer with Conditions: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
Regular expressions (regex) are powerful tools for pattern matching in strings, and Python provides the re module to work with them. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to create a regex tokenizer with conditions using Python. A regex tokenizer breaks a string into tokens based on predefined patterns.
Open your preferred Python environment (IDLE, Jupyter Notebook, etc.) and start by importing the re module:
Decide on the tokenization patterns based on your specific requirements. For this tutorial, let's consider a simple example where we want to tokenize a string into words and numbers. We'll create patterns for words, integers, and floating-point numbers.
Here:
Define conditions to apply different patterns based on the type of token. In this example, we'll create a function called tokenize that takes a string as input and returns a list of tokens.
Now, let's test our tokenizer with a sample string:
This should output:
Congratulations! You've created a simple Python regex tokenizer with conditions. You can customize the patterns and conditions based on your specific needs for tokenizing strings in different contexts.

Regular expressions (regex) are powerful tools for pattern matching and text manipulation in Python. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to create a regex tokenizer with conditions, allowing you to tokenize a string based on specific rules or patterns.
Before we begin, make sure you have Python installed on your machine. Additionally, you should have a basic understanding of regular expressions.
Python provides the re module for working with regular expressions. Import it at the beginning of your script:
Decide on the patterns that should trigger tokenization. For example, let's create a simple tokenizer that separates words and numbers:
In this example:
Adjust these patterns based on your tokenization needs.
Define conditions that determine when to apply each pattern. For instance, tokenize words and numbers separately:
Each condition is a tuple containing a pattern and a corresponding token label.
Now, create a function that takes a string as input and
