Python Regular Expression
An i18n (web) application usually mark strings to be translated as _("string"). You can use xgettext in GNU gettext utilities to extract translatable strings from given input files. This post, however, will use regular expression in Python to do the work.
The basic pattern to search _("string") is:
def searchI18n(string):
# only first match and longest match
# i.e., the string {{_("ddd")}}12345{{_("sss")}} will return
# {{_("ddd")}}12345{{_("sss")}}, not return {{_("ddd")}}
return re.search(r'{{\s*_\(\s*(.+)\s*\)\s*}}', string)
A more advanced pattern is:
def getAllMatchesInFile(filepath):
with open(filepath, 'r') as f:
# [^)] to prevent {{_("ddd")}}12345{{_("sss")}}
return re.findall(r'{{\s*_\(\s*([^)]+)\s*\)\s*}}', f.read())
The above function will return all matched strings in a file.
