I want to extract information from user-inputted text. Imagine I input the following:
SetVariables "a" "b" "c" How would I extract information between the first set of quotations? Then the second? Then the third?

Use the re. findall() method to extract strings between quotes, e.g. my_list = re. findall(r'"([^"]*)"', my_str) .
You can put a backslash character followed by a quote ( \" or \' ). This is called an escape sequence and Python will remove the backslash, and put just the quote in the string. Here is an example. The backslashes protect the quotes, but are not printed.
You can escape quotes by preceding them with a \ like so : my_var = "Tabvxc \"avcx\"sdasaf\" sadasfdf. sdsadsaf '0000000000000000000000000000000'."
Question marks and exclamation marks go inside the quotation marks when they are part of the original quotation. For split quotations, it's also necessary to add a comma after the first part of the quotation and after the narrative element (just like you would with a declarative quotation).
>>> import re >>> re.findall('"([^"]*)"', 'SetVariables "a" "b" "c" ') ['a', 'b', 'c'] If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
