python之正则表达式捕获多行文本正文

所以我有一些看起来像这样的文本文档:

1a  Title 
        Subtitle 
            Description 
1b  Title 
        Subtitle A 
            Description 
        Subtitle B 
            Description 
2   Title 
        Subtitle A 
            Description 
        Subtitle B 
            Description 
        Subtitle C 
            Description 

我正在尝试使用正则表达式捕获由 3 个制表符缩进的“描述”行。我遇到的问题是有时描述行会换行到下一行并再次缩进 3 个制表符。这是一个例子:

1   Demo 
        Example 
            This is the description text body that I am 
            trying to capture with regex. 

我想在一组中捕获此文本，以结束:

This is the description text body that I am trying to capture with regex. 

一旦我能够做到这一点，我还想“扁平化”文档，使一行中的每个部分由字符而不是行和制表符分隔。所以我的示例代码将变为:

1->Demo->->Example->->->This is the description text... 

我将在 Python 中实现它，但非常感谢任何正则表达式指导!

升级
我更改了扁平化文本中的分隔符以指示它之前的关系。 IE; 1 个标签 ->，2 个标签 ->->，3 个标签 ->->-> 等等。

此外，如果每个标题(节)有多个副标题(小节)，则扁平化文本应该是这样的:

1a->Title->->Subtitle->->->Description
1b->Title->->Subtitle A->->->Description
1b->Title->->Subtitle B->->->Description
2->Title->->Subtitle A->->->Description
2->Title->->Subtitle B->->->Description
2->Title->->Subtitle C->->->Description

基本上只是为每个子级(副标题)“重用”父级(编号/标题)。

请您参考如下方法:

您可以在没有正则表达式的情况下执行此操作:

txt='''\ 
1\tDemo 
\t\tExample 
\t\t\tThis is the description text body that I am 
\t\t\ttrying to capture with regex. 
\t\tSep 
\t\t\tAnd Another Section 
\t\t\tOn two lines 
''' 
 
cap=[] 
buf=[] 
for line in txt.splitlines(): 
    if line.startswith('\t\t\t'): 
        buf.append(line.strip()) 
        continue 
    if buf:     
        cap.append(' '.join(buf)) 
        buf=[] 
else: 
    if buf:     
        cap.append(' '.join(buf))       
 
print cap 

打印:

['This is the description text body that I am trying to capture with regex.',  
 'And Another Section On two lines'] 

优点是用 3 个制表符分别缩进的不同部分保持分离。

好的:这是一个完整的正则表达式解决方案:

txt='''\ 
1\tDemo 
\t\tExample 
\t\t\tThis is the description text body that I am 
\t\t\ttrying to capture with regex. 
2\tSecond Demo 
\t\tAnother Section 
\t\t\tAnd Another 3rd level Section 
\t\t\tOn two lines 
3\tNo section below 
4\tOnly one level below 
\t\tThis is that one level 
''' 
 
import re 
 
result=[] 
for ms in re.finditer(r'^(\d+.*?)(?=^\d|\Z)',txt,re.S | re.M): 
    section=ms.group(1) 
    tm=map(len,re.findall(r'(^\t+)', section, re.S | re.M)) 
    subsections=max(tm) if tm else 0 
    sec=[re.search(r'(^\d+.*)', section).group(1)] 
    if subsections: 
        for i in range(2,subsections+1): 
            lt=r'^{}([^\t]+)$'.format(r'\t'*i) 
            level=re.findall(lt, section, re.M) 
            sec.append(' '.join(s.strip() for s in level)) 
 
    print '->'.join(sec) 

打印:

1   Demo->Example->This is the description text body that I am trying to capture with regex. 
2   Second Demo->Another Section->And Another 3rd level Section On two lines 
3   No section below 
4   Only one level below->This is that one level 

限制:

1) This is limited to the format you described. 
2) It will not handle reverse levels properly: 
    1 Section  
         Second Level 
             Third Level 
         Second Level Again       <== This would be jammed in with 'second level' 
    How would you handel multi levels? 
 
3) Won't handle multiline section headers:

         This 

在您的完整示例上运行:

1a  Title->Subtitle->Description Second Line of Description 
1b  Title->Subtitle A Subtitle B->Description Description 
2   Title->Subtitle A Subtitle B Subtitle C->Description Description Description 

您可以看到第二层和第三层是连接的，但我不知道您希望如何处理该格式。
