Hi,
I noticed that the Match text component is becomming rather slow when the input lists becom quite long…
Would it help to make a '‘Match text’ component in the python component?
and how would this look like?
many thanks!
ps, same holds for ‘cull pattern component’
If you want to do a pattern search like the TMatch component does, you can use the re module (e.g. regex, regular expressions) in Python.
If you want to remove a string segment that is identified by a specific pattern, you can use re.sub(), which substitutes the identified substrings with another string (or void).
import re
s = "Rhino sucks..."
pattern = r"sucks\.*"
ss = re.sub(pattern, "rocks!", s)
print(ss)
# Rhino rocks!
Whether it’s faster is to be seen. Instead of inputting a list of strings, you could maybe join them into a single one, where they are delimited by a \n (i.e. new line) symbol, and process the entire string in one go.
